What don't you tell your doctor about how you manage pain?
I dont tell the doctor that in the past,I have tried herbal supplements to help manage pain.

What could George Bush do personally to make the lives of arthritics better?
George Bush could pass a law that entitles all people with chronic diseases such as the many forms of arthritis to always have health insurance.

What could the Arthritis Foundation do?
I wish the Arthritis Foundation could be more visible to those people who do not have arthritis. That way those people would be better informed about the disease and especially about how it can and does affect many young people.

Have you ever used your arthritis to gain an unfair advantage?
No.

When's the last time you felt humiliated because of your arthritis?
When someone told me that one of my fingers looked ugly because it is slightly deformed.
