When I joined this Forum in 2006, it was a life-saver for me. I was desperate, confused, angry at the negativity of hand surgeons and other doctors who didn't know about other treatmens besides surgery. I have learned so much about this disease, so much information has become available in the last decade. I continue to read, on this forum, and join any groups that I can. My nodules on foot are gone, with RT, my pinkies are badly contracted, but both my hands are totally functional, which is great.
I you are on Facebook, you may want to join : Just copy and paste this Facebook link: https://www.facebook.com/groups/879351412113444/
It is mostly a support group, but they also have morning Coffee Talks, with Q&A, doctors who are members, and lots of good information
