Rheumatoid Arthritis: Self-Injected Biologics Bring New Freedom

CreakyJoints and the Global Healthy Living Foundation invite you to understand self injected medications with this orientation video for Rheumatoid Arthritis patients. Here, we profile the functional use of auto-injectors, and orient patients and caregivers to their ease. This non-commercial video provides an objective view, utilizing input from medical professionals (doctors, nurse and health psychologist), of how these devices have revolutionized self-injection, including highlighting the benefits of these new innovations. This informative CreakyJoints video dispels the myths of auto-injectors, allays fears and aims to familiarize patients with these devices.
Patients who are prescribed an injected biologic for the treatment of Rheumatoid Arthritis (or related autoimmune disease) have questions about their treatment, its mechanism and continue to seek an orientation about the way it works. Medical professionals, including physicians, nurse practitioners and physician assistants have a limited amount of time to orient the patient about the delivery of their medication, and patients are left with unanswered questions.
We hope this video serves to orient you and your caregivers about the novel treatments and the innovation that makes self-injection an easy, virtually painless process. Once you have viewed the video, log on to http://www.CreakyJoints.org to discuss your reaction and share your strength and experiences with other members of the CreakyJoints community.
