GREAT LIST!!!!!
Wow, what a great list! I'll be linking to it from my blog.
Hey, thanks ladies!!
Thanks for sharing such a great resource list! I'll be sure to share this where possible. I have been writing articles on arthritis research (among other topics) for a while now, and this list will really be useful.
Glad I could help!
Well this may sound a little repetitive following Stephen's comment, but I was extremely grateful to stumble upon this resource list. I have been looking for more information on arthritis recently, and the link to the Blue Ribbon Project was very helpful.
I'm glad you found it so useful! The Blue Ribbon Project is definitely one of my favorite newer organizations.
I have had 6 surgeries on my right knee just to help enough so that i can get out there and ride my horses again (and even that is not a pain free sport i just deal with it)
