RA Public Service Announcement Video
Announcing a new RA public service announcement
Please watch my second-ever RA public service announcement, below! My mom always said to “make it short and sweet”—well this is short and serious. But hopefully you’ll feel the passion of my heart:
1) For people to recognize rheumatoid disease is more than arthritis—it’s a serious disease.
2) For people to recognize early testing and aggressive treatment is the closest thing we have right now to a cure for RA.
Watch the RA public service announcement now!
This RA public service announcement (PSA) was sponsored by imaware™. That means that this video says exactly what I wanted when I dreamed up this whole RA public service announcement and wrote it all down at 4 a.m.! imaware™ just paid the photographer to shoot and produce the video professionally.
An RA PSA is not for one-armed paperhangers
Mom said so many colorful things while I was growing up—it’s amazing how I remember them. (I wonder if she likes reading them on the blog?)
Running from one thing to the next like I do some days, she’d probably say I’m busier than a one-armed paperhanger. (Do you even remember wallpaper?)
That’s true, but as I’ve learned in the past, an RA public service announcement is NOT a one-woman job! Even if I was the one to stand in front of the camera, I cannot get this out there alone. If you agree with points 1) and 2) above, I hope you’ll share this video with everyone you know.

Hello Kelly
This is my first email to you and I must congratulate you on all you do for us when you must be suffering like the rest of us. Thank you so very much. I have RA/RD and at the moment I can’t walk on my feet for the pain. My surgeon has said I need all joints bones in my feet pinning and plating and ankles fused but he won’t do the Op as he says I won’t heal – very low ammunity and healing. I also have had Crohn’s disease for most of my life and have had a full on battle with it. Consequently I’ve been on prednisone since I was in my thirties and I’m now 72. Don’t know why I’m sharing this it’s not for sympathy or anything else but maybe to justify I really do have a few problems.
Anyway my question is I have received your email with video and thank you very much however I can’t open the video. I live in Australia so would this be the problem?
My heartfelt thanks to you my prayers that you stay well and my thoughts are with you.
Kindest Regards
Ros.
thanks for this.
