On a more fundamental level, if physicians and other healthcare providers were more aware, it would lead to earlier diagnosis, better patient care, and better outcomes. Having to fight for good care is incredibly frustrating, and for many patients, is stymied by the shortage of rheumatologists in their area. Pediatric rheumatologists, like the one who diagnosed me, are very rare. Many pediatric Rheumatoid patients have to travel to see their doctor; some families move for better care for their children with Rheumatoid disease.
On an interpersonal note, if Rheumatoid patients enjoyed awareness among our loved ones and strangers alike, we wouldn’t have to fight ignorance, judgments, and drama at home and out in the world.
We would have more help and more understanding from our partners, spouses, children, families, coworkers, and community. We wouldn't face invalidating comments like "you're too young" or "you should try such-and-such home remedy." We wouldn’t have an abnormally high divorce rate on top of the tremendous difficulty of living with Rheumatoid Disease.
In the four years since I began actively promoting awareness of my disease, speaking out as a patient, and advocating for Rheumatoid patients, I have seen the tide start to turn. In my 30th year with Rheumatoid Disease, I have great hope for a future in which all of these will become a reality.
Carry on!
