Fibromyalgia is not “imagined pain.” The largest genetic study to date - spanning 2.5 million individuals - identified 26 genetic risk loci, strengthening the biological basis of fibromyalgia and opening new paths to understanding pain biology. A meaningful step forward in a condition that patients have long struggled to have taken seriously. #Fibromyalgia #Rheumatology @DurgaPrasannaM1 @IhabFathiSulima @FibroHealthOrg #PainMedicine #Genetics #MedicalResearch

Wonderful information, thank you. @CaringForLupus @Lupus_Chat

ASBM’s former chairman, Dr. Madelaine Feldman, participated in the first panel of yesterday's #AfPASummit26: “The bottom line in pricing needs to be brought back to the patient’s ability to access the medication. For example -Many times affordability could be achieved by allowing the patient to pay their cost share (co-insurance) on the lowest post rebate/discount price of the drug.—including by basing cost-sharing on the lowest post-rebate price, especially for Part B drugs." @MattieRheumMD @patientaccess @LADAOrg @GlobalCRC @WarOnCancer @CSROAdvocacy

Rheumatic Disease Awareness Month (RDAM) offers a powerful moment to highlight pediatric rheumatology and its 50-year legacy of improving children’s lives. Under the theme Little Joints, Big Impact, we recognize how pediatric rheumatic diseases affect growth, school participation, and family life—and celebrate the pediatric rheumatologists, teams, and advocates who have advanced early diagnosis, multidisciplinary care, and better outcomes for young patients. Join us in amplifying pediatric rheumatology during RDAM: share educational resources, support referral pathways, and help ensure that children with rheumatic disease receive the timely, expert care they deserve.

Primary care teams play a key role in recognizing pediatric rheumatic disease early. When symptoms persist, referral to pediatric rheumatology can help families get answers sooner. Download our reference sheet, acr.tw/4xvEd6L, for more details about when it's time for a referral. For 50 years, pediatric rheumatologists have been helping children with rheumatic diseases grow, play, and thrive—despite pain, stiffness, and fatigue. RDAM honors the children and families living with rheumatic disease and the dedicated clinicians who care for them. Join us in raising awareness, promoting early diagnosis, and supporting access to pediatric rheumatology so every child’s future can be as strong as their spirit.
