“You don’t look like you’re in chronic pain.” No, I don’t. My build often misleads people into thinking I’m an athlete (people often try to talk to me about “all my activities”). And my make up and outfits mislead people into thinking I feel as good as I look. But looking good doesn’t mean I feel it. . Having psoriatic arthritis has affected my looks a lot in the past, particularly in regards to weight. I feel extremely confident in my body image at the moment- I’m in a good, healthy place. I’m very fortunate! But please remember- just because someone with chronic pain looks good doesn’t mean they’re feeling it. . . . . #arthritis #arthritiswarrior #arthritislife #arthritisawareness #arthritissucks #spoonie #spoonielife #spooniewarrior #spooniecommunity #spoonies #chroniclife #chronicpainwarrior #chronicpain #chronicillness #chronicillnesswarrior #psoriaticarthritis #psoriaticarthritiswarriors #psoriasis #psoriaticarthritisawareness #arthritisawarenessmonth #juvenilearthritis #juvenilearthritisawareness #positivebodyimage #chronicfatigue

May is Arthritis Awareness Month Invisible pain...looking at me now, if someone doesn’t know me and my story, they’d have no idea! I’ve had multiple hip operations, have had three hip replacements, have arthritis in my knees and back. I’m hyper mobile and can pull a few party tricks, but at the risk of dislocation. While I still have bad days, they’re nothing like the bad days I had before my hip replacements I feel sad when I see or hear of others living their life in pain, going about their day, sometimes with a smile on their face and you wouldn’t have a clue! Invisible illnesses are it can take years to be properly diagnosed and treatment is a whole other story! Sending hugs to everyone in this bionic/Arthritis community, where ever you’re at in your journey, I send you my best wishes ✨✨ . . . #arthritisawarenessmonth #arthritisawareness #hipdysplasia #hipdysplasiaawareness #hipdysplasiaaustralia #totalhipreplacement #threehips #bionicwoman #bionicmermaid

In honor of Arthritis Awareness month, I’d like to celebrate my friend Jennifer. She and I met awhile back while we worked for The Arthritis Foundation. She was diagnosed with Juvenile Arthritis at a young age and is a total warrior/ninja. I’ve seen her undergo surgery’s and massive flare ups that has affected her ability to walk and do the daily tasks we all take for granted. Probably the most miraculous thing I’ve seen her take on was being pregnant with their son. Because she wasn’t able to take the drugs that help to keep Rheumatoid Arthritis at bay she at times had to walk with a cane to protect her baby. I want to be like her when I grow up! To anyone out there who battles an auto immune disease I see you, you are amazing! #arthritisawarenessmonth

First Remicade infusion complete! Not one to post a lot of hospital selfies but May is #ArthritisAwarenessMonth and most of the time this is the reality of living with it. The reality is that three years after being diagnosed I still haven’t found the perfect treatment. I see my doctor more than most of my friends. #rheumatoidarthritis has changed me physically more than I was prepared for. Over the last six months there have been days when even the most basic movements have been difficult. Walking up a flight of stairs, chopping vegetables or even grasping a cup in my hand have all been things I have been incapable of doing at times. Autoimmune arthritis is complete physical exhaustion and it takes a toll on your entire body, not just your joints. Most days I wake up in pain and go to bed the same way. BUT on days like today I’m able to smile because I am so hopeful and grateful for medications like Remicade and biologics. I’m well aware that it wasn’t too long ago that these drugs didn’t exist and people who lived with RA had very few options to improve their quality of life. Even more so, I’m grateful that I have health insurance that allows me to get the care I need without going broke. No American should have to worry about being able to afford the treatment they need to improve their life. I’m still learning to accept my body for what it is now but, I’m also pretty amazed at how much pain it’s able to withstand day after day. My immune system may be beating up my joints every day but here’s to hoping this new treatment fights back a little harder

May is Arthritis Awareness month! It seems like it's always awareness month for something, but this one is extra important to me ‍♀️ "Arthritis" is a broad term used when referring to more than 100 different muscle, bone, and joint diseases, and #ankylosingsponylitis is just one of them Did you know that arthritis affects more than 50 million Americans, making it the #1 cause of disability in the US? Did you know that 1 in 3 adults with arthritis have reported also suffering from anxiety or depression? I called me rheumatologist in early March to get in to see him because of new joint pains..luckily he's able to squeeze me in...in June and that's pretty quick! Doctors who focus on these diseases are few, and book up crazy quickly. The unfortunate reality is that the care and resources don't exist to provide treatment and aid to the number of people effcted by arthritis, and that's just one of the reasons we need to work to raise #arthritisawareness and find a cure All month I will be joining @busylizziesf in the #curearthritisstreak 30 minutes of activity per day to help raise awareness and stay active ‍♀️ because they do say #motionislotion Use the hashtag on your activity posts on social media this month and join the movement (pun intended )! Help spread the word and let people know that arthritis is so much more than just achy joints when you get old ️ . . . . . . . #arthritisawarenessmonth #arthritis #curearthritis #jointdisease #bonedisease #muscedisease #educate #spreadtheword #arthritiswarrior #rheumatoidarthritis #spondyloarthritis #fibromyalgia #osteoarthritis #psoriaticarthritis #juvenilearthritis #somanymore #strongertogether #rheumatology #awarenessmonth #spreadhope #positivity #hopeforthefuture

Dear RA, You have taken so very much from me. You took away my ability to take for granted a day without pain. You took away my speed and strength and endurance. You stole my looks, my health, and you try to take my happiness. But I have also taken so very much from you. I have taken control over my life. I took away your ability to break me. And I have found a strength and unbendable will I never knew existed. So rather than hate you I am embracing you. I cannot control what you are doing to me but I can control how I let it effect me. It’s a daily battle, but I WILL win.
