This World AiArthritis Day, I’m sharing my lived experience with autoimmune/autoinflammatory arthritis.
#MyAiArthritisDisease means [your message].

I’m helping raise awareness and contribute to patient-driven insights that can shape the future of care and recognition.

When did my “check engine light” first come on? Earlier than I realized and my road to diagnosis was anything but straightforward.

#MyAiArthritisDisease means learning to trust my body, even when others didn’t.

If you could see “under the hood,” you’d understand that what looks like a normal day takes everything I have.

#MyAiArthritisDisease means managing what others can’t see.

What keeps my engine running? A mix of treatments, rest, and constant adjustment.

If my journey were a road trip, it wouldn’t be smooth, but it’s taught me resilience.

#MyAiArthritisDisease means finding ways to keep going.
