Being diagnosed with inflammatory arthritis

"Being diagnosed with inflammatory arthritis"

About: Forth Valley Royal Hospital / Rheumatology

(as a service user),

I went to see my GP at the end of December.   Now 5 months later I have had an MRI, baseline tests, met twice with a consultant and have a working diagnosis. I started treatment two weeks so. Fabulous service I think.
