Comments on: Celebrities and Rheumatoid Arthritis, Part 2 http://rawarrior.com/celebrities-and-rheumatoid-arthritis-part-2/ Bringing information & encouragement to fight RA Wed, 23 May 2012 12:58:11 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Cindy Raschke http://rawarrior.com/celebrities-and-rheumatoid-arthritis-part-2/comment-page-1/?show=comments-52528 Cindy Raschke Thu, 27 Jan 2011 16:27:24 +0000 http://rawarrior.com/?p=999#comment-52528 I work for Marilu Henner on her health website www.marilu.com. She does not have rheumatoid arthritis but her mom who was a dance teacher had it. She had to slowly watch her mom deteriorate to the point of having to have limbs removed and eventually she died from complications of RA. She speaks about it in her autobiography. She would make an excellent spokesperson. She became interested in health and decided to make that the focus of her life because of what happened to her mother and because her dad died too young from a heart attack that could have been prevented with a healthier lifestyle. I know right now she is very busy as a cancer spokesperson (her husband had 2 cancers) and to promote healthier eating and healthier school lunches for kids. She is working with PCRM right now as well. I work for Marilu Henner on her health website http://www.marilu.com. She does not have rheumatoid arthritis but her mom who was a dance teacher had it.

I have similar thoughts: If RA weren't so bad, I'd go to medical school so I could treat RA'ers. But also be able to get the medical profession to listen. They seem to only take seriously those who have MD after the name. Yes, we should include the AS & PA as the campaign ought to explain Rheumatoid Diseases.

Though I do have a friend who is in a band that is doing fairly well and he promised me if they do ever get famous that they will dedicate shows for RA and AS awareness and do charity concerts. We all need to have a friend like this so that maybe some way some how we will get the awareness we need! But don't forget about the AS awareness too ;) If my AS wasn’t so bad I would try so hard to become famous so I can raise awareness for RA and AS and Lupus!
