Rheumatoid Arthritis
I have a couple of news feeds and calendars which help me find out what event are going on. And then I sort of curate them (ghastly social media term) here at PatientTalk.Org.
So when i found out the tomorrow sees the start of Juvenile Arthritis Awareness Month I went “Whoo hoo this is one for me”. While browsing the web for more information for this years Juvenile Arthritis Awareness Month I found well. Not much. Actually Nada. Zip. Nowt. Nothing. Zilch. I did come across this online press release for last year (from the Arthritis Foundation) but precious little else.
So does anyone know if this event is still going? Does anyone have any more information. If you do know anything at all please feel free to add any links etc in the comments section below.
Many thanks
PS As you can see I’ve used Donnee Spencer’s brilliant Rheumatoid arthritis butterfly to promote the month if it is taking place.
Here is the link from The Doctors tv segment on Juvenile Arthritis. It’s in two parts so keep watching after the break:

patienttalk Katy Carter Well, I haven’t been able to find out more about the press release, but I do know that the television show “The Doctors” will be doing a segment this Wednesday, July 16th, on Juvenile Arthritis. It is on various stations and at different times across the country, but check the website to see your local listings. This segment will feature my daughter, Rhiannon. http://www.thedoctorstv.com/
Katy Carter Thanks Katy- please could you let us know when the press release comes out!
I don’t know much, but I do know this event is still happening. The Arthritis Foundation should be giving a press release, I would think today or tomorrow. I know this because it features the story of my daughter. 🙂
