Patient Support
A new rheumatology condition can feel isolating and can lead to
feelings of loneliness. There are many groups set up to support
people in a similar position. Have a look at the groups below that
offer support by providing knowledge, experience, emotional, social
or practical help to each other. All the exercise classes on the
previous page are also very useful for peer support.
