At The Table Episode 28: It‘s not all ”Arthritis”: Osteoarthritis vs. AiArthritis

This mini-episode originally aired in our AUTO Ball LIVE event (May 16 - 20th on Facebook), but the topic is so important we turned it into a fully produced episode!

Tiffany discusses the importance of raising awareness that the AUTO diseases - autoimmune and autoinflammatory diseases - that include arthritis as a major clinical component are not the same as other types of arthritis. Specific examples include osteoarthritis (due to aging, wear and tear, injury, or excessive pressure on the join), and gout. Failure to differentiate these types of arthritis leads to public confusion, and as a result family and peers may misunderstand the complexity of our challenges. Furthermore, failure to learn arthritis types can lead to delayed detection, diagnosis, and treatment which can cause unnecessary disability, poor quality of life, and inflated healthcare costs. 

AiArthritis has launched an AUTO + Arthritis awareness campaign that cleverly uses full body AUTOmobiles to explain our full body diseases. Doing this can differentiate them from the other forms of arthritis! as she teaches you how to creatively compare different arthritis types through Auto-themed activities. Get involved today by creating your own Auto-themed posts so together we can teach the world the differences between our diseases and others that include arthritis! #LearnArthritis
