Inflammatory Arthritis: What you need to know | Arthritis Talks

Managing inflammatory arthritis can be overwhelming. With 100 different types, including rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis and many more, there is a lot of information to wade through. In this Arthritis Talks webinar, rheumatologist Dr. David Robinson zeroes in on what you really need to know about inflammatory arthritis and how best to manage it. At this webinar, we will discuss:
• Types of inflammatory arthritis, risk factors and treatment options.
• Strategies to manage inflammatory arthritis including self-management, medications and lifestyle guidelines around alcohol consumption.
• New treatments on the horizon for those living with inflammatory arthritis.

What a horrible thing to say at minute 10:25 “…but don’t tell anyone in the waiting room, cause all my patients will want two forms of arthritis.” Who wants arthritis to begin with let alone to have two different types to manage?!? This is a perfect example of what is wrong with the medical profession, no understanding or compassion for what people really go through. I wish there was some way for people on the medical profession to feel what it’s like to live with various afflictions if even just for a minute to get a sense of what it feels like to live with an illness or disease.

At least they thanked the traditional landowners, so everything's okay.

Thank you. I’m recently diagnosed with RA and I feel lost. This was exceptionally well presented and informative.

How are you now? Ive recently developed RA too. I’d love a friend who lives close by. I’m alone and it’s so hard to get out for meds and food.

I have had osteoarthritis since I was 18 years old in grade 11 and I am 59 years old now and my symptoms have worsened over many years after many severe illnesses from the flu and pneumonia,and this arthritis runs in many of my family members and other relatives.It is hard for me to do crafts,etc

Really great presentation!

I’ve started Hydroxychloriquin and Salzapirin for RA. How long do these take to kick in? You say months. I need hope.

If I sit down or lay down,go up and down the stairs several times a day my knees,hips,etc cause me to be even stiffer,sore etc

[@kimhollenbeck1308]

So many people I personally know are severely vaccine injured. And I had two relatives who died (previously healthy!) within weeks of vaccination. Sadly doctors and pharmaceutical companies cannot be held liable.
