Yup.

This one has slowly gone downhill over the past year or so. One would

The best chat group I know is   alt . support . arthritis    an
American group, but always friendly and helpful.

In the UK there are regional ARC chat boards and the national ARC site.
Also
www.arthritiscare.org.uk/
www.rheumatoid.org.uk/

and one must never forget the very helful Dr Doc site (South Africa)
http://www.arthritis.co.za/
The best - if not the only - medic to offer free informed help online.
