Fibromyalgia is incredibly common in people with rheumatic diseases. Those with #fibromyalgia have higher measures of disease activity and are less likely to achieve remission. What are we doing about it? #RNL2022 by Dr Philip Mease https://t.co/k8D9Bvx6Lc

Dr. @Tuhina_Neogi reminds us that chronic pain affects 1.52 billion people in the world! That's approximately 20% of the population! It costs approximately $635B annually! The better we understand it the better we will be able to treat it. #RNL2022 @RheumNow https://t.co/KE5sMZWqU9

Note: 0 patients who presented as +RF polyarthritis patients were in remission off drug at 5 year f/u. #RNL2022 @RheumNow https://t.co/oPG2WbuuHW

ILAR classifications vs the reality of disease changes seen in pedi clinics is an issue for continuing care. Dr. @hausmannMD reviews arthritis clusters which may make it easier to understand from an adult rheum perspective. #RNL2022 @RheumNow https://t.co/7xYD96R5Rw

Transition programs improve health and QoL of pedi-to-adult rheumatology patients in addition to their autonomy/independence! Dr. @hausmannMD gives both pediatric and adult recommendations to ease care at #RNL2022 @RheumNow https://t.co/e5erQ5nkcE
