Hello and welcome to the IPRS website. This website is for people interested in or suffering from Palindromic Rheumatism. The IPRS has grown with so many members in such a small time as it is the only place offering a place to find advice, help and support for people with PR. The IPRS was created by me Paul, a sufferer of PR who has had PR for over 20 years. We also have a great bunch of volunteers that work very hard for the IPRS themselves having PR or now RA. So it is run by people who understand what it is like to live with PR. I hope this website, the information and pictures help and inform you.
