L to R: Annie Hay, Dr. Chow, Dr. Oh, Dr.Tan and Ding Mee Hong.On Sunday July 6th, 2008, Arthritis Foundation Malaysia (AFM) celebrated RA Day at the Evergreen Laurel Hotel Penang, with a public forum on rheumatoid arthritis to promote public understanding of the disease.
This public awareness outreach was made possible by an educational grant from Wyeth Malaysia. A consultant rheumatologist from Penang Hospital, Dr. Tan Bee Eng and an orthopedic surgeon, Dr Oh Kim Soon were present to give a talk on the various fields of treatment and care for arthritis patients. The President of AFM, Dr. Chow Sook Khuan, my present rheumatologist from Sunway Medical Centre was also present to give a welcoming speech.
The response to this year public forum in Penang was very good by the look of the packed hall. A session of Q & A results in the doctors having their hands full in answering numerous questions from the floor. There was a short break for light meals and coffee in between. The forum ended with a lucky draw.

beachlover - I am still on medication and so far no more serious flare ups. Hope your mum had seen a rheumatologist, if not better ask her to do so to prevent further damage or sufferings. Can ask me anything regarding arthritis. I am more than willing to help.
