Live Yes! Connect Groups offer local connections, education and empowerment. Adults living with arthritis from our local community come together for professional- and volunteer-led sessions on a variety of topics, as well as fun group activities.

We offer a place of understanding and encouragement for both people living with arthritis and their loved ones. Group participants become self-advocates, develop self-management skills and learn how to not just survive life with arthritis but to thrive.

Hello,

I hope it was okay that I joined. I'm from East Central Indiana, but my area had no group.

Hi Brian T, my name is Thomas U. I'm 61 and have had RA since I was 14. I live in Mt.Vernon IN. and would like to find other people that I can talk with about the every day struggles of living with a deformed body because of RA. I've had every major joint replaced and currently on disability for the last 20yrs.

Hello Thomas and nice to meet you!  Your story sounds very similar to mine.  I would love to share experiences.  Check the events section regularly and be on the lookout for emails from me inviting you to our groups we have at the Newburgh Public Library each month.

Hello Southern Indiana group.

I'm Vicki and just joined this group as I live in Evansville. Does anyone know where that is?? Lol

I didn't until I moved here in 1979 with my parents....anyway. I have OA, Fibromyalgia, etc. I came here to find people who may understand me. Because in my world, no one does. Not truly. And I'm hoping to become a friend. A person who'll listen and maybe be able to help in some small way.

So, hi! 

 

I have OA

Hi Vicki and Brian,

I don't know if this group is still active, but I'm also in Evansville.  I struggle with fibro and RA and was just looking to hopefully connect with some others who can relate to the day to day of living with arthritis.  I hope to hear back from you!

Hello Vicki,

You are not alone.  I have been in the Evansville area since 1970.  I have had RA/JRA since the age of 12.  My daughter has a form of arthritis called RSD.  We are all here to help and share on this forum so I hope you feel at home and are able to ask anything.  Arthritis of any kind is an "invisible" condition and it is difficult for others to comprehend how bad things can be.
