"Feeling so much more positive"

I was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis a few years ago. I recently had a flare which was worse than I'd experienced in some time. I phoned the rheumatology clinic at North Devon District Hospital and they called back within an hour. I attended for bloods the next morning and they phoned with the results within a couple of hours and were luckily able to fit me in with the rheumatology nurse later that day.

We had a really good discussion about my issues and later on she called again to confirm she'd discussed things with my consultant and I could commence an increased dose immediately. I felt I had been taken seriously and, had a clear treatment plan and psychologically I felt better as my anxiety was relieved. I have now started on my new plan and after a week I am feeling so much more positive.  10/10 to the rheumatology team at NDDH!
