(BPT) - Rachelle Crow, of Chesterfi eld, Michigan, is living proof that autoimmune and rheumatic diseases can affect people of any age. She fi rst sought help for painful joints as a 19-year-old college student, but received a confusing diagnosis of osteoarthritis, something typically associated with older adults. Unsatisfi ed with her diagnosis, she actively searched for more information about her condition and found support via an online group who understood her symptoms and questioned her initial diagnosis. “When I was diagnosed with arthritis, I looked for support and, thankfully, found CreakyJoints,” Rachelle says. “Communicating with other patients educated me about my disease and pushed me to ask good questions of and seek a better diagnosis from my doctor. Once we realized that what we fi rst thought was osteoarthritis was actually related to infl ammatory arthritis, it allowed us to better address my treatment. When you join CreakyJoints, you fi nd a community which can cause pain, stiffness, joint damage and many other complications due to widespread infl ammation. It can occur at any age and is more common in women than men. Ten years following her initial diagnosis, Rachelle faces numerous challenges managing her infl ammatory arthritis, but this mother and former special education teacher is combating her diseases just as she faces other challenges in her life - by continually ect called Arthritis Power. Arthritis Power is the fi rst ever patient led, patient-centered research database for arthritis, and it is a collaborative effort between researchers at the University of Alabama at Birmingham and CreakyJoints that is supported by the Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute (PCORI), a nonprofi t, nongovernmental organization created by Congress in the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010. Offering 21st Century-style convenience and mobility, Arthritis Power data will be collected using a smart phone, laptop, desktop or tablet where there is an internet connection. As patients track their symptoms over time - a convenient way of self-monitoring changes in fatigue, pain and physical activity - they are also securely donating their data. This information will be used by universities, research when and how to participate. “Patient-centered clinical research means that the research questions being asked are important to patients to help them make informed healthcare decisions,” says Louis Tharp, Executive Director of CreakyJoints and its parent organization, Global Healthy Living Foundation. “Though it’s called Arthritis Power, we’re also seeking people living with arthritis and other related bone, muscle, skin or joint conditions, such as fi - bromyalgia, lupus, psoriasis and many others. The more people who join and share their data, the more powerful the registry will be!” It is the idea of learning from real patient experiences that most excites Rachelle about the future of arthritis treatment. “Patient-led research, like Arthritis Power, is important because patients can express how research will directly impact their lives. But in addition to advancing arthritis research, what I particularly like about the application is that I can access my personal data and send progress reports to my physician, which means we can discuss my ups and downs during check-ups. I anticipate this will make for very productive conversations.” If you are living with rheumatoid or infl ammatory arthritis, or other musculoskeletal conditions and are interested in joining the Arthritis Power Research Network, visit www.
