60% of adults in the U.S. live with at least one chronic illness — and nearly half of those live with two or more. For millions, these conditions are invisible but impact every part of life — work, relationships, daily tasks, mental health. Today, we honor the strength it takes to manage symptoms while living life anyway. Rest when you need to. Set boundaries when you must. You matter. #ChronicDiseaseDay #InvisibleIllness #PatientAdvocacy #CreakyJoints

Tomorrow is #WorldASDay. Let's talk about #EverydayChallenges with #axSpA. When #arthritis flares, tiny things become impossible. It might look easy to hold a glass, but it is difficult for many people living with arthritis. #Spondylitis #LaceUpForAxSpA #MySeveralWorlds

Several clues can help distinguish mechanical back pain from inflammatory back pain. While patients with mechanical back pain often report less pain when they rest, patients who have inflammatory back pain often report worse pain when they are less active, and improvement when they exercise. #inflammatorybackpain #ankylsoingspondylitis #spineawareness #inflammatory #axspa

#Fatigue is not just tiredness. It’s an overwhelming feeling of exhaustion. It can be physical, mental, or both. It can be a tricky aspect of #axialSpA to get under control, so signpost your patients to our #YourSpAce support: nass.co.uk/about-as/your-spa…

Day 4 of the @nass_exercise #AxialSpALife social media challenge and it’s #WorldASDay2024! For me, World AS Day is all about raising awareness. Although #axialSpA affects 1 in 200 adults in the UK, 90% of the public have never even heard of it 🤯 Here’s some info from @ASIntFed
Do you have patients that suffer from these symptoms? Pain in their lower back, buttocks and hips. Pain worse with rest but better with exercise. Pain lasted more than three months. Fatigue. Think axSpA

Axial SpA is a chronic disease which if untreated can cause fusion in your spine, ribs & more. It can leave you disabled and in constant chronic pain. There is no cure for AS, but there is treatment to help stop the disease and put you in remission. #AxialSpALife #WorldASDay2024
