Welcome to AiArthritis Voices 360. This episode join your host, Tiffany, as she and co-host Deb Constien discuss the challenges faced by patients who experience atypical disease presentations, especially the need to advance our understanding of this phenomenon because the typical is not so typical. This concept is vital for early detection and improving outcomes. They also explore the ways that a lack of commonality among disease presentation and progression impact advancements in treatment options.

Welcome to the first MINI-episode of AiArthritis Voices 360: "At The Table". These short shows focus on issues that we feel require immediate feedback, which is then applied directly to our projects or resources that go back to the community.
This episode, join your host Tiffany and IFAA volunteer and person diagnosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis, Deb. Deb is preparing for reconstructive surgery on her left foot and will have to face 10-12 weeks of recovery with absolutely no weight-bearing on the surgical foot. She does not feel hopping is an option, nor are crutches or a cane - because she has fused hands and wrists from being diagnosed 30 years ago (pre-modern practiced therapies).
Whether it’s surviving a flare or recovering from procedures, many of you have lived through these challenges and have good advice for others. We invite you to share your voice and expertise with our community.
