With support from VFC, Kareena recently presented some of her findings in the form of a “poster” at the Canadian Rheumatology Conference in Quebec City this past February. She will share with us some of the findings. Highlight findings include data that indicate: 67% of you were mis-diagnosed, and 78% of you have been hospitalized at least once.
