The theme for the Rheumatoid arthritis awareness week will be the āInvisible Illnessā, and what goes on āBehind the Smileā. People who break their arm or experience an injury are obviously in bad shape but we can see their injury and understand their limitations. But for the millions of people who are living with an invisible illness such as rheumatoid arthritis, explaining whatās wrong is another side effect of the condition. Not only do people have to put up with challenging, often painfulā and sometimes debilitating conditions every day, but on top of that, they may have to face scepticism from people ā friends, family and co-workers, as well as strangers who donāt understand whatās wrong. #BehindTheSmile #rheumatoidarthritis #RA2017 #raaw2017 #charity #invisableillness #inflammation
