If so the information on this site is absolutely unbeatable, dozens of booklets downloadable or in paper form, always up to date, thorough but understandable.

I do mainly Pilates which I find really helpful but I miss out or modify any exercises that put body weight on one or two bones, since our bones are like Swiss cheese!

I was diagnosed at St Mary’s on the Isle of Wight but I signed up for a clinical trial which meant all my treatment was and is at Southampton. It’s well worth the journey.

In nearly two and a half years I’ve only managed 12 months remission but being on treatment doesn’t stop me staying active and enjoying life.

It’s always interesting to see a wide range of information and views but treatment options are quite different here in the UK so you might find some things less applicable in your case.
