DO you suffer from rheumatoid arthritis?

Have you been treated with acupuncture in the last two years?

Could you spare 45 minutes to talk about your experiences?

If the answer to these questions is yes, I'd be very interested to hear from you. I'm currently conducting research towards a PhD at Manchester Metropolitan University, looking at rheumatoid arthritis patients' experiences of receiving acupuncture. In particular I'm interested in understanding what you the patient see as the effects of being treated with acupuncture.

If you would be willing to take part in an interview, or would like to find out more about the research, please phone 0161 247 2593, or alternatively e-mail me at johnjghughes@aol.com
