Rheumatoid Arthritis Sick Day
April 5th , Rheumatoid Arthritis Patient Day, aims to raise awareness about rheumatoid arthritis, an autoimmune disease that affects the joints, causing pain, stiffness and, in severe cases, deformities. The date seeks to inform about the challenges faced by patients and the importance of early diagnosis and appropriate treatment.
Experts emphasize that, although there is no cure, rheumatoid arthritis can be controlled with medication, physical therapy and lifestyle changes. Appropriate treatment can help improve quality of life and reduce the progression of the disease.
Health organizations and patient associations promote educational campaigns and events to support patients and reinforce the need for more research into more effective treatments. The date is also an opportunity to value the daily struggle of those who live with the disease.
