  Arthritis and related disorders.

  A group for discussions about different aspects of arthritis and related
  autoimmune disorders, such as lupus and scleroderma, mainly from the
  patient's point of view.  Medical discussions should be informational only,
  not for a substitute of consulting a properly trained medical practitioner.
  
  Anyone with an interest in arthritis is free to post, including but not
  limited to patients, their friends and family members, doctors, and
  other medical professionals dealing with different forms of arthritis.
  
  The following are examples of good topics:
  
    - symptoms and causes of different forms of arthritis
    - treatments, both conventional and alternative
    - arthritis-related practical problems and ways to overcome them
    - social issues relevant to arthritis patients
    - emotional support
    - different resources available to people with arthritis
  
    Scientific discussions that are likely to interest arthritis patients in
    general are welcome on misc.health.arthritis, even if cross-posted to
    sci.med.immunology.
  
    Commercial advertisements may NOT be posted to the this group.
