Leila - Person living with Lupus

What’s with all the car posts? 🚗 It’s World AUTOimmune & AUTOinflammatory Arthritis Day! These diseases are auto-driven—and so is our awareness. #AUTOARTHRITIS #AiArthritisDay Visit @WorldAiArthritisDay for more details.


Sometimes a car needs a little duct tape to hold it together, living with AUTOimmune arthritis (lupus & sjogren’s) ,the tools that help to hold me together are my eye drops, compression gloves & sunblock. #DriveAwareness #LearnArthritis


Eileen - Person living with Rheumatoid Arthritis

From high heels and late nights to sore joints and early signs—my body knew before I did. The pain in my feet, ankles, and knees wasn’t just the cost of dancing the night away; it was my first clue that autoimmune arthritis was taking the wheel.


Much like a car that starts showing warning lights, my body gave me signals I didn't yet understand. Now, debilitating fatigue and inflammation have reshaped my life, but they haven’t taken my spirit.


For #WorldAiArthritisDay, I’m sharing my journey—because early recognition matters. If your body’s warning lights are flashing, don’t ignore them. 


Join us in the World AiArthritis 2025 campaign. World AUTOimmune & AUTOinflammatory Arthritis Day isn’t just a day—it’s a movement. Join the race to raise awareness and share your AUTO story. Let’s shift public perception into a new gear. These aren’t “just arthritis”—they’re complex, systemic diseases. And we deserve to be understood. See @AiArthritisDay for more.🏁 #AUTOarthritis
