Summary: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) affects over 2 million people, and is one of the most costly diseases to our nation’s health care system. It’s more prevalent in women, often strikes the joints of the hands and feet, and causes crippling pain. Amye Leong, President and CEO of Healthy Motivation was just 18 years old when she was diagnosed with RA, and became wheelchair bound within 6 years. She takes us from barely being able to put a fork in her mouth to running her own consulting firm today. Dr. Vibeke Strand, consultant, rheumatologist, and adjunct clinical professor at Stanford University then provides cutting edge information on new diagnostic tests and ground-breaking therapies for this disease.
