If you want to use this QR code (Quick Response code) just save the image and paste it where you want. You can even print it and use it that way. Coffee cups, T-Shirts etc would all be good for the QR code.

Well I have disappointing news. After believing that my RA was reasonably well controlled I've now learned that both hip joints have been destroyed and I need two new hips. Grrr.... I think the damage was accelerated last year during a drug shortage of methotrexate that left me having a reduced dose for about six months.
I was putting my increased pain levels down to a fall I had 18 months ago but when I finally saw the orthopedic specialist a couple of days ago he showed me the results of my x-rays and CT scans and I'm down to bone on bone - no joint space left at all or any cartilage.
It explains my pain levels but I'm seriously disappointed and annoyed at the three rheumatologists who had brushed me off because my RA is zero negative and didn't follow the classic pattern..
