Lisa Ramirez+FollowThe Chronic Illness Trifecta No One’s DodgingDid you know over 133 million Americans are battling at least one chronic illness?

The wild part? It’s not just about biology; the stress of juggling so many health problems plays a big role too. Docs say it’s time to treat mental and physical health together, not separately! #MentalHealth #ChronicIllness #DepressionAwareness #Healthcare #Health00Share

Charles Christensen+FollowRA Treatments: Big Wins & New HurdlesRA care has totally leveled up in the last 20 years—think better disease control, fewer steroids, and more people hitting remission. But here’s the twist: patients are older, have more health issues, and not everyone’s seeing those big functional gains, especially the elderly. Methotrexate use is down, and newer drugs are sticking around longer, but some folks still aren’t hitting their treatment goals. RA’s getting more manageable, but also way more complicated! #RheumatoidArthritis #HealthTrends #ChronicIllness #MedicalResearch #AgingPopulation #Health210Share
