Keeping It Real with Arthritis - Effie Koliopoulos - Bog

Featuring over 100 worldwide, personal stories written by passionate and inspiring individuals living with arthritis, and their supporters; parents, caretakers, and medical professionals. Ranging from heartfelt, hopeful, motivating, and empowering to heart-wrenchingly eye-opening, these stories shine a light on not only the realities of everyday life with arthritis but other chronic illnesses and varying levels of disabilities that can occur in tandem with arthritis. Readers will get a first-hand look at the good, the bad, and everything in between, from those who are experts in lived experience and clinical matters. This book is not only a collective effort to raise awareness that arthritis is more than just a disorder that affects the joints or explain why people of all ages get arthritis. But most importantly, how arthritis is only an umbrella term for over 100 different forms of arthritis and related conditions, that impact all areas of life in profound ways, from physical limitations, mental health, social lives, relationships, faith and spirituality, finances, and work and career life balance.
