Skipped my daily nap today as the body was doing good and my mind was buzzing with energy and a desire for achievement.

I now cannot walk and everything hurts.

Oops.

On the plus side I did get that nice feeling of achievement and it gave me a boost. I think that outweighs the pain.

Today, we recognize World Autoimmune Autoinflammatory Arthritis Day, a vital day to raise awareness about complex conditions causing arthritis. Autoimmune and autoinflammatory diseases both affect the immune system but in different ways, often leading to joint pain, swelling, and fatigue.

- Autoimmune diseases like Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) happen when the bodyโ€™s adaptive immune system attacks healthy tissues.
- Autoinflammatory diseases involve the innate immune system causing excessive inflammation without targeting specific tissues.

Understanding these differences is key to early diagnosis and proper treatment, improving quality of life for millions.

Letโ€™s unite to support patients, caregivers, researchers, and healthcare professionals working to better understand and treat these conditions.

Feeling increasingly annoyed at the struggle to manage #AutoimmuneArthritis. The immunosuppressants that work best to reduce pain and immobility are the ones causing the biggest range of significant side effects. The ones that cause no side effects for me are not helping the arthritis.
Each new med takes up to 12 weeks to work so I have to give it the time to work.
Feel like I've to choose between mobility and reduced pain versus equally life-impacting side effects. Bluh.
Came home after a tiresome trip to Dublin for medical appointment, and was feeling dreadfully tired and sore (due to #hEDS and #AutoimmuneArthritis) and rather sorry for myself. Cheered right up when saw this lovely book post of my Advanced Reader Copies of a book of essays by Irish autistic people that I had the honour of editing ๐ŸŽ‰

Moreover, achieving remissionโ€”where symptoms basically disappear for a timeโ€”is entirely possible and a regular goal of treatment for many autoimmune diseases.
