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.

One more useful link. This one is just basic information about RA but it's well written and fairly comprehensive, particularly for the newly diagnosed. It's put out by ARC - Arthritis Research Campaign. http://www.arc.org.uk/arthinfo/patpubs/6033/6033.asp

I found this useful site on hands and the impact of arthritis on them and posted it in the #1 AS forum in response to a posting about painful hands. Thought it would be useful to also post the link in the RA forum so here it is: http://www.handuniversity.com/topics.asp?Topic_ID=13

One more useful link. This time it's about treatments for RA. This is a fairly decent and thorough description of the various medication options including dosage, side effects etc. You can find this information elsewhere, but I felt this article provided most of what you needed to know in one place. As most of these drugs are also used to treat AS, the link may be valuable for AS and spondy sufferers as well. http://www.hopkins-arthritis.org/arthritis-info/rheumatoid-arthritis/rheum_treat.html#metho

Oh I see where these papers are now!
It's an epiphany!
I'll get started on these tomorrow.

I hope they are interesting but I trust you wouldn't post just anything so it'll be fun to see what I can get out of it. Why can't you put these links into the tab on the side of the screen where people might go to expect to find links to papers on RA?
