I had done #QualitativeResearch to help me decide which factors might be important, and added demographic questions. The existing model of patient activation suggested positive & negative affect was important, so I added this to see if this was the case in people with #InflammatoryArthritis. /4

From bench to bedside, better models mean better arthritis therapies! 💡🧬

Hubs got an #InflammatoryArthritis diagnosis last week. We are now swapping swollen joints. He had 3 flares & originally thought it was broken. I took one look & said that's #arthritis.

Yup, I dx-ed him before docs! He took my info Q&A to ER & got his DX asap. What are the odds?!

If you missed last weeks episode of Inflammatory! here is a small clip of what we discussed.

Does anyone have #suggestions for a good #headachetracker and/or #migrainetracker? Preferably just a headache/ migraine tracker although I will accept overall #paintrackersuggestions. #occipitalneuralgia #chronicpain #chronicallyill #spoonies #chronicillness #fibromyalgia #inflammatoryarthritis

I think I woke up with no #spoons. Maybe tomorrow I can find some. #spoonie #disabled #chronicallyill #chronicillness #pain #chronicpain #exhausted #fibromyalgia #occipitalneuralgia #migraines #backpain #headache #neckpain #nospoons #noenergy #rheumatoidarthritis #Inflammatoryarthritis #mentalhealth

New record today. I diagnosed Hubs before docs figured it out. I kept telling him it's #InflammatoryArthritis. He kept saying no way. He had his 3rd flare in 6 months. I gave him my list for the hospital & told him what I thought it was. He got his formal dx today. 😭 Signs and symptoms, my friends!
