VACCINATED AF! Second dose done, #teampfizer... Told my cat he had some serious cuddles to give while I ride out these side effects.
If you are not following them already, please give Arthritis Research Canada a follow! @arthritisresearch is their Instagram but be sure to sign up for their newsletter as well, I just wrote a piece for their summer newsletter about arthritis and sun safety which while doing my research I learned quite a bit! Clickable link in my bio or visit www.arthritisresearch.ca and sign up for their quarterly newsletter
As part of our COVID-19 webinar response series, we invite you to join us for the following webinar:
Learning to live with #RheumatoidArthritis wasn't easy, I had to go through a lot of trial and error. That was with treatments and the people treating me. Find out in my latest @healthline article how it took a team for me to learn to live with this disease and the role they play in my journey. Who is on your team?
My new hobby - gardening. I have a lot of work a head of me but slow and with a lot of breaks is best for when living with arthritis. Need to get some raised garden beds up soon. I can't wait to grow my own vegetables, never buy herbs again and have lush hostas to bask in their beauty.
The other day was the Arthritis Soiree to raise funds for @arthritisresearch - I got to share my story living with rheumatoid arthritis and how their research helped me understand and thrive better with this debilitating disease! Over $315,000 was raised. Proud to have been a part of this event, can't wait to attend it in person though!
