Keeping it Real with Arthritis

Stories from Around the world

100+ personal stories written by passionate and inspiring individuals living with arthritis and their supporters. 

"The story I contributed, LLAMAME MACGYVER", is about the day I arrived in Madrid for a 6-week summer course between my junior and senior years of college. Newly disabled, I had no idea how well I'd handle being on my own in a foreign country. Naturally, my first big test came immediately! It was nothing a little humor, heart, and arthritis-inspired ingenuity couldn't handle." -Karol Ruth Silverstein

Ranging from heartfelt, hopeful, motivating, and empowering to heart-wrenchingly eye-opening, these stories shien a light on the realities of everyday life with arthritis and related conditions. 

"Finally, a book that makes me feel less alone. I cried reading some of the stories. Thank you for writing this book about arthritis and living and thriving through the pain!
