Over the past few years I have discovered that
there are quite a few widely held and terribly inaccurate myths about
arthritis…So if you get the chance this month, try to educate someone
about the true facts of life with arthritis!

Thanks so much for leaving a comment! I really appreciate the support and I love hearing from all of you! My blog is a forum for finding support and discussing life with RA so I will try to publish and respond to comments as soon as I can!
Unfortunately, I have been getting a lot of nonsense comments with spam links in them recently. This means that I have had to turn the comment moderation on. My blog is not a place for advertizing, so if your comment contains a spam link it will not be published. Please respect my blog.
Thank you.
That's exactly what I'm trying to do this month! There are so many CRAZY notions about RA and I feel like it gets an unfortunately low amount of press compared to other diseases and conditions out there. It's frustrating to think about how many people have no idea that it can affect young people or even cause death. An unfortunate amount of people mistakenly think that "arthritis" just means a couple little aches and pains as people age, and they could not be further from the truth!
ReplyDeleteI helped put together this handy arthritis infographic if you're interested in checking it out. I'm on a similar mission to get the word out! If you like it and think it would be of interest to your readers, feel free to share it. Thanks for sharing your experiences with RA. Hopefully through the efforts of people like you, this won't be such a misunderstood condition for long.
