Welcome to AiArthritis Voices 360 - the talk show hosted by the International Foundation for Autoimmune & Autoinflammatory Arthritis (AiArthritis), whose mission is to help others, like us, living with AiArthritis diseases, have a voice "at the table" alongside other stakeholders as equals, to solve problems that impact education, advocacy, and research.
This week Tiffany, Deb, and Patrice are learning while having a great time as they have been "at EULAR 2020", which was supposed to take place in Germany June 3-6, but is now ONLINE - through September 1st. In this debrief, which is the third of four, cover the following:
- Award-winning abstracts - focus on working with rheumatic diseases, gut health. We talk in detail about our opinions as patients and focus on some specific projects at AiArthritis related to this topic.
- Patient issues with adherences to treatments: fears, side effects, pregnancy, age - interesting research! We delve more into pregnancy and age in particular - especially regarding current research that moms can be on biologics during pregnancy and the difference in those with long term disease and early on refusing to start treatments.
- Cardiovascular: It's not just RA, research for PsA, Axial Spondyloarthritis and others. These diseases ARE full body! Make sure you remember to take care of the whole body.
- EULAR 2020 Recommendations: New RA and PsA treatment guidelines, involving young people in voicing personal therapeutic outcomes interest (i.e. school, work, relationships, socializing), personalized vs precision medicine, shared-decision making, and patient concerns to address for injection therapy (steroid shots, etc).
The team will take all the information they are learning this month and open the conversation up to YOU in July. Want to "go with us" to EULAR in July? Sign up to learn more HERE.

In this episode, Tiffany Westrich-Robertson, CEO of the International Foundation for Autoimmune & Autoinflammatory Arthritis (AiArthritis) reflects on her choices about motherhood. While she never felt the "mother bug" to have children of her own, failed relationships led her on the path to dedicate her life to her career - and ultimately she "birthed" this organization.
Like a parent, she has given her heart and soul into its' development over these 9 years and is proud of the accomplishments she and the other patient leaders have achieved. But she also knows her work as a parent is not over, as there is still a lot of work to do to make sure it succeeds and continues to change lives well after she is gone. Like all children, they need financial support to thrive, to grow, to continue to develop, so she is calling on the public to help make that happen with a donation.
Tiffany ends the episode by thanking her own dad for genetically passing down his business savvy and for being a great example of what it takes to be a parent.

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

Between May 16 - 20th, we took our AiArthritis Voices 360 Talk Show LIVE, to help teach more people who we are, what we do, and how we impact the lives of those affected by AiArthritis Diseases while honoring the 450 million people worldwide living with our diseases. It also served as the starting line for our 2020 fundraising efforts.
Differentiating Arthritis Types will help all people, with all types of arthritis, gain more understanding - and possible respect - for their condition, will increase detection and referrals, can lead to improved Quality of Life (QOL) and lower healthcare costs long term. The need to differentiate arthritis types, including the focus on a couple dozen autoimmune diseases and autoinflammatory diseases that include arthritis as a major clinical component.
Over 100 autoimmune or autoinflammatory diseases, not all include arthritis. The arthritis is different from other types (like OA or gout). It also can vary in aggressiveness and degree of disease burden. For all, the arthritis differentiates these diseases from the other 100+ and that is why we need to bring light to it.
It’s also equally important to teach both the public and practitioners about the differences so they do not dismiss it (i.e. you’re too young to have osteo, OR if you are older that “it’s not OA so it’s nothing) - lending to delays seeking medical attention.
In this episode, we expand the conversation from patient-reported issues about the need to differentiate arthritis types to including the rheumatologist point of view. What can patients and rheumatologists do to help educate primary care physicians - and other rheumatologists - to consider the AUTO disease features + arthritis to increase detection, referrals, and diagnosis? How can organizations and patient-focused companies get involved?
This episode builds on prior conversations (The Need to Differentiate Arthritis, Typical vs Atypical, and Diagnosis STAT!) and will expand to include more stakeholder voices as we continue the discussion in future episodes - including Rheumy RoundsⓇ and with other nonprofits from around the world. The end goal is to develop materials to educate the public and practitioners about the AUTO + Arthritis diseases and, in turn, increase awareness, expedite detection and diagnosis, and lower healthcare costs associated with delays.
*Rheumy RoundsⓇ is a pilot episode developed by our organization that unites patients and rheumatology professionals at the table - as equals - to discuss issues that, if solved, would improve communication and outcomes.
Who is “at the table”?
Dr. Alfred Kim, rheumatologist and Assistant Professor of Medicine and of Pathology & Immunology at Washington University School of Medicine, and founder and director of the Washington University Lupus Clinic.
Suz Schrandt is a patient diagnosed decades ago with Juvenile (Rheumatoid, now called Idiopathic) Arthritis and patient engagement advocate with a health and disability law background. She recently launched a new patient engagement initiative called ExPPect and is currently serving as the Senior Patient Engagement Advisor to the Society to Improve Diagnosis in Medicine. Schrandt previously served as Director of Patient Engagement at the Arthritis Foundation, and as Deputy Director of Patient Engagement for PCORI.
Tiffany is the CEO at International Foundation for AiArthritis and person living with non-radiographic Axial Spondyloarthritis and other AiArthritis conditions. She uses her professional expertise in mind-mapping, problem solving, and teaching to help others, like her, who live with AiArthritis diseases work in unison to identify and solve unresolved community issues.

In this week's mini-sode, Tiffany talks about the importance of being counted in research, especially in times when a new disease emerges and only a select few are truly being studied. This is the case with COVID-19, as most research emerging is based on studying people with confirmed positive results. However, due to lack of testing, false negatives (and positives), and other challenges associated with a disease in its' infancy, it's more important now than ever to ensure ALL people, perspectives, and experiences are counted.
Our community is asking many questions about how COVID-19 affected our diseases. The only way researchers can gain enough data to fully answer these questions is if all our experiences are counted. So today we are asking you, if you are diagnosed with an AiArthritis disease and believe you were impacted by COVID-19 (whether you tested positive, or not), please participate in these rheumatology registries:
- COVID-19 Global Rheumatology Alliance. In addition to participating as a supporting organization, our leadership is also involved in the behind-the-scenes research committees as patient liaisons and patient surveys. International. Participate now.
- The Arthritis & Rheumatic Disease COVID-19 Project. This patient-powered study of the Autoimmune Research Collaborative will collect longitudinal data about autoimmune patient experiences with COVID-19 in the USA and Canada only. Sign up now.
- FORWARD: National Data Bank. Participating will provide valuable information to health care providers going forward to help make decisions about how to treat patients with rheumatic diseases who get COVID-19. Participate now.

Join Tiffany and Deb, fellow patient co-hosts, for the AiArthritis Voices 360 Talk Show as they welcome Dr. Lisa Zickuhr, rheumatologist from Washington University School of Medicine, to discuss the barriers and benefits of e-health/telehealth as we navigate the new world of COVID-19. How are online visits impacting YOUR care with your rheumy? What is working? What isn't? What do we need to improve?
During this discussion, Dr. Zickuhr explains current efforts to streamline e-health visits as we move forward - which patients will be seen in person? Which will use tele-health or video calls? Deb and Tiffany weigh in with their experiences and opinions and they all discuss the need to include patients in the discussions as new protocols emerge. After you listen to the episode send us an email and tell us your opinions and experiences at podcast@aiarthritis.org.
This episode is in conjunction with our organizations' work to improve access to care and doctor-patient communications. It was also an episode that originally aired LIVE during our annual gala, the AUTO Ball, which was hosted on our Facebook page between May 16 - 20th, 2020. You can watch the raw, unedited footage of this episode on Facebook.
Dr. Zickuhr is a rheumatologist and clinician educator who devotes half of her time to caring for patients with autoimmune rheumatic diseases and half to educating physicians in training. Her clinical interests lie in treating patients with systemic lupus erythematosus and other related conditions. She also cares for patients using telemedicine and is interested in the best ways to teach health care professionals how to communicate with and examine patients virtually.

This week join your patient co-hosts Tiffany Westrich-Robertson, CEO of International Foundation for AiArthritis and Deb Majcher Constien, AiArthritis volunteer and patient advocate, as they discuss the importance of AiArthritis leaders attending conferences. At EULAR (European League Against Rheumatism) Congress in 2019, Tiffany and Deb attended a session on the existing efforts to advance e-health so we could reach more rheumatic patients and, in turn, improve their health.
They are joined by Aurelie Najm, rheumatology researcher with EULAR and OMERACT (Outcome Measures in Rheumatology). Aurelie was a panelist at the EULAR e-health session and previously made another guest appearance on AiArthritis Voices 360 to discuss obtaining patient consent for participation in clinical research. Check out Episode 9 “Changing The World With Your Knee” for more information on Aurelie’s clinical research and how you can get involved in that project.
In this episode, Tiffany, Deb, and Aurelie will discuss the ongoing efforts of EULAR and AiArthritis to involve the patient voice in the development of new e-health apps and the variety of ways these apps could be utilized by both patients and clinicians to improve treatment outcomes. Aurelie will also explain the value of e-health apps in light of the COVID-19 pandemic. Stay tuned to the end of the episode for information on how you can help researchers develop the next generation of e-health apps to benefit the AiArthritis community.
