Description

Arthritis life features real patient stories, expert advice, life hacks and more to help you feel more empowered and less alone. Host Cheryl Crow shares her insights from both as a rheumatoid arthritis patient for seventeen years and as an occupational therapist, a health profession that focuses on empowering people with health challenges to function in their daily lives. This podcast will also include reflections on how you can have the best quality of life possible despite chronic pain, anxiety and other challenging parts of chronic illness. The goal: to help you manage REAL life with arthritis, beyond joint pain. Let's get started!
