« Mon docteur m’avait dit que la douleur disparaîtrait après l’accouchement. J’ai eu la pire des poussées deux semaines après la naissance de ma fille. Je ne pouvais pas la tenir dans mes bras ni l’allaiter. » L'arthrite a volé la joie de tenir son premier bébé dans ses bras. En ce Mois de la sensibilisation à l’arthrite, aidez à reprendre ce que l’arthrite a volé: https://bit.ly/4dDS14r

Alicia loves to dance and like most 11-year-olds, gym class was a school highlight … until it wasn’t. No one likes sitting on the sidelines watching friends have fun, but that’s where Alicia found herself after being diagnosed with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA). This #ArthritisAwarenessMonth, help take back what arthritis has stolen at https://bit.ly/4e2lsOA. #ArthritisSteals Alicia adore danser et, comme pour la plupart des enfants de 11 ans, le cours de gymnastique était un point fort de l’école… jusqu’à ce qu’elle ne le soit plus. Personne n’aime rester sur les lignes de côtés à regarder les amis s’amuser, mais c’est là qu’Alicia s’est retrouvée après elle a reçu un diagnostic d’arthrite juvénile idiopathique (AJI) en 2023. En ce #MoisDeLArthrite, aidez à reprendre ce que l’arthrite a volé! #ArthriteVole
