EULAR 2024 – Day 3 Report
EULAR treats its attendees to a wonderful lunch each day – Schnitzel, gnocchi, goulash at lunch after muffins and coffee in the morning. It's no wonder the meeting has been a lively one, well attended with a wealth of stimulating ideas, research and discussion. Here are a few of my favorite abstracts and presentations from today, day 3 in Vienna.

Considering fatigue as a surrogate for inflammation and changing medication accordingly is part of it.
I will also add yearly blood work including:
1- VitD
2-HBA1c and LDl
3-TsH. https://t.co/3QvPqMxZSN
