Like when I got diagnosed, most of my family and friends said what, what’s that? When I said I’ve got rheumatoid arthritis, they’re like, never heard about it. To be honest, I hadn’t either until I was told that’s what I’ve got. Participant 38

Just because you don’t look like you’re sick, it doesn’t mean you’re not. Like diabetes and all that, isn’t it? Unless you’re in a wheelchair people don’t believe you, you know. Participant 8
