- ArthritisRheumatoid arthritis (also known as RA) is a type of chronic arthritis that typically occurs in joints on both sides of the body (such as hands, wrists, or knees). Symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis include: joint pain, swelling, stiffness, especially in the morning or after sitting for long periods and fatigue. Rheumatoid arthritis affects everyone differently. For some, joint symptoms develop gradually over several years. In others, rheumatoid arthritis may progress rapidly. Rheumatoid arthritis is two to three times more common in women than in men, but men tend to be more severely affected by RA.

- Mental HealthLupus (also known as systemic lupus erythematosus or SLE for short) is an autoimmune disease treated by rheumatologists. Lupus occurs when the immune system attacks our bodies (joints, skin, organ, etc). Symptoms come and go, but flares often disrupt a patient’s normal life. Symptoms will vary by patient, but commonly include: extreme fatigue, skin rashes (especially on the face), joint pain, sensitivity to light, headaches, tingling of extremities, hair loss and anemia. Patients with advanced Lupus might have problems with their lungs, heart, kidneys and mental health. If untreated, Lupus can be fatal, but today we have many treatments which allow Lupus patients to live a long and happy life.

- PsoriasisPsoriatic Arthritis (pronounced soar-E-attic) is a condition which develops in a population of people with Psoriasis. Psoriasis is a chronic skin problem that causes skin cells to grow too quickly, resulting in thick, white, silvery, or red patches of skin. About 10% to 30% of people with psoriasis develop psoriatic arthritis. Psoriatic arthritis frequently involves inflammation of the knees, ankles, and joints in the feet and hands. Usually, only a few joints are inflamed at a time. The inflamed joints become painful, swollen, hot, and red. Sometimes, joint inflammation in the fingers or toes can cause swelling of the entire digit, giving them the appearance of a sausage.
