@DawnMGibson A9: thank you Dawn and @CreakyJoints great chat 🙏 I ran 1/2 mile the other day first time sense new hip, it really mattered to me...I thought #arthritis had taken it away but I snatched it back #SpoonieChat https://t.co/lOnXD6YuQB

A3. Depends on how the conference is structured, but they can be. I just looked at their website and really appreciate the patient perspectives posters program at #ACR18. #SpoonieChat

A4. Yes I follow @CreakyJoints! A lot of their posts are relevant to me because of of OA related to #EhlersDanlosSyndrome #SpoonieChat
Sara Blazar Sharpe @zebrawrites
I wonder if #EhlersDanlosSyndrome is represented there? It seems to be something that some rheumatologists struggle to understand because of the history of division between #EDS/genetics and #JHS/rheumatology? #SpoonieChat

A1 #SpoonieChat I am Alice...long, nightmare personal story but I have PsA and other autoimmunes and am a NP in #ChronicPain

A2 #SpoonieChat Not this year. I am still in survival mode only life...and the weather went cold and I have struggled to not cry at work as it is this week.

A3 #SpoonieChat Maybe...I am torn. As a provider I see merit. As a sufferer I still often feel left out of the conversation entirely.

A4 #SpoonieChat Not before today, I am now.

A5 #SpoonieChat Patient voices must become a stronger part of the picture. Knowledge =/= lived experience.
Alice’s Nightmare, DNP, NP-C @AliWonderHell
A6 #SpoonieChat Knowledge =/= lived experience and both are needed.
Alice’s Nightmare, DNP, NP-C @AliWonderHell
A7 #SpoonieChat Absolutely serious question...is there room for a local CRNP with her DNP and lived experience to work with @Creakyjoints and do more?

A8 #SpoonieChat Never was I so glad for a miserable rash as the day my knee locked up and refused to bend. I am fully diagnosed ONLY because my plaques screamed it out.
Alice’s Nightmare, DNP, NP-C @AliWonderHell
A9 #SpoonieChat The job thing. I am serious. I cry with my patients because I GET IT. I want to fight harder and make a bigger impact.

If there's no cure for a disease, how do you manage it? What do you think are best practices for treatment & pain management? #SpoonieChat
Audrey R Sutton #forTinu @audreyrsutton
I have a diagnosis, but it doesn't really feel like one bc it's really just a list of symptoms instead. When is a diagnosis meaningful versus just a list of symptoms? #SpoonieChat

A6. #EhlersDanlosSyndrome EXISTS! #Hypermobility is not always #benign. I wish that #rheumatologists that I saw had tested/recognized my hypermobility and sent me to genetics instead of misdiagnosing me with #Fibro or #mecfs and sending me away. #ACR18 #SpoonieChat

#SpoonieChat Hi everyone, it’s Bonnie. We are finalizing our move to Florida! So exciting, but super busy and can’t chat. Love to all of you😘

A7. Can you ask about the best way to disperse the 2017 Criteria for #EhlersDanlosSyndrome and #HSD. https://t.co/haj4lvfGyy #SpoonieChat #ACR18
Sara Blazar Sharpe @zebrawrites
A8. I was misdiagnosed with #Fibro & #mecfs before correct diagnoses of #hEDS, #POTS, & #MCAS. I have a great rheumatologist now who is also my primary and truly gets it, but I saw many who gave me diagnoses of exclusion w/o proper testing & sent me away #SpoonieChat #ACR18
Sara Blazar Sharpe @zebrawrites
A9. In closing, I know I’m repeating myself, but rheumatologists need to learn to recognize and treat #EhlersDanlosSyndrome/ #HypermobilitySpectrumDisorders. They at the very least need to know how & when to look for hypermobility & refer to a geneticist. #SpoonieChat #ACR18
