:( Very sorry to hear your bad news m8. Wife's grandmother swears by acupuncture for it (oh, and lots of red wine!) - worth a try I reckon to relieve the symptoms when they're at their worst.

Emigration next I reckon, as reflected by a change in username: deve8decosta or deve8grancanaria maybe in order!? :)

 

Anyhow, keep your chin up mate.

I was looking at Cape Verde

Nah come over to Madagascar when we move,my zeds coming and there`s a tennis club right next to our pool hall! Sorry to hear bout the condition tho fella,what a shitter. :(

Hey...filter didn`t pick that up shitter shitter shitter..result feel like a naughty schoolboy!

Sorry to hear this Chris :( Just got out of hospital myself today after getting some bad news. Strangely, the drugs they use for arthritis are the same as the ones they use for Crohns. I know I'm better in warm climates and I think eventually I'll be moving abroad myself.

My mum suffers from reumatoid (excuse spelling) some days she cant breath very well as it spreads up her chest, shes been on steroids and for now it has settled. not nice bud, chin up though and work through it.

i was diagnosed 5 years ago with it in my ankle due to some gland causing problems when i was a kid and too much uric acid in my blood had an op and it didnt work i got gout every week it was agony so i changed my lifestyle cut out the booze and the salt and it seemed to work still gives me jip when its cold but nothing like it used to be .....feel for ya mate hope you get some relief sorted
