Would you please make a forum for Arthiritis Osteo/Rheumatoid as one category?

Could you also make a category for Dercum's Disease, and Madelung's Disease?

These are rare diseases, but I will announce at another board that they are listed here. I think when rare diseases are given more of a presence on the Internet medical researchers and physicians are more assertive in finding a way to help with dealing with these diseases, instead of just saying they are rare and ignoring it. I think too it gives others that may suffer in silence with these diseases, the opportunity to search the Internet and find others with the same symptoms and know they are not alone.

This has happened with Dercum's Disease and Familial Multiple Lipomatosis. A female physician at University of California is now researching and mapping these diseases.
