On World Arthritis Day, The Guide gets you a campaign that'll help you and dear ones steer clear of the disease Did you know, a pillow too high or a hobo too heavy could crush your bones forever? Don't turn the page just yet, it's more than a boring warning. Today is World Arthritis Day, and a campaign in the capital aims to involve you in an endeavour to set the country free from the urban evil. Rheumatoid arthritis, a chronic and more serious form of the disease, too, is less understood and relatively under-explored. "India has almost 150 rheumatologists as compared to Austria where for a population of 8 million there are 200 rheumatologists," says Dr Prof Josef Smolen, one of the world's most renowned and internationally acclaimed clinical rheumatologists and immunologists, who was recently in India to attend the Third National Rheumatology Symposium. So, this time over, the Indian Rheumatology Association has decided to launch an awareness and treatment project that's worth being part of. Called Let's Work Together, it aims to address the most major causes of the disease, raise consciousness, ensure patient advocacy and empowerment, foster better research in the field of rheumatic diseases, and nip it in the bud. To show your support, log on to: <a href="http://www.indianrheumatology.org/" target="_blank">www.indianrheumatology.org</a>
