Did you know that millions of people across the globe are living with more than one autoimmune disease? Living with such a kind of disease means that it affects each and every aspect of your life. There are different types of autoimmune diseases but, here, we will be talking about autoimmune arthritis disease. Yes, research shows that almost 50% of those people living with autoimmune arthritis do not get the right diagnosis. The main reason for this thing is lack of awareness. It is not only causing delayed diagnosis but also leading to unsatisfactory and complicated lifestyle and elevated healthcare-cost. In order to eliminate these problems, World Autoimmune Arthritis Day is introduced.

Autoimmune and autoinflammatory diseases are something that can affect the major parts of your body such as major organs, tissues and joints. Therefore, educating people about this disease is very important. Research shows that it can remarkably improve the quality of the lives of people.
