Before I got involved in medical market research I was under the impression that there was arthritis and there was rheumatism.  And that they were pretty much the same thing.

It was just a few days into that job when I discovered how wrong I was.  Indeed I’d never even heard to Fibromyalgia or Lupus in those days.  Which is pretty poor form given my grandmother suffered from Rheumatoid arthritis for almost all her life.

So I thought it would be useful to find out more about the types of arthritis that our reader have been diagnosed with.  With this in mind I have set up a new poll.  If you do have an arthritic condition it would be great if you could take part.

This will also help us to make sure future blog posts on arthritis are relevant to our readers

Thanks very much in advance
