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.

@RheumNow The always erudite @LCalabreseDO is no slouch of a debating opponent, however. He acknowledges that the science has been imperfect, too much is wrapped up in it, and that fibromyalgia can teach a lot to long COVID. #EULAR2024 @RheumNow https://t.co/TzR4SMZh9f
