CreakyJoints Canada
CreakyJoints Canada is a new Canadian platform from the Global Healthy Living Foundation.
CreakyJoints is a digital community for millions of arthritis patients and caregivers all over the world.
A few years ago, I connected with CreakyJoints US and discovered a wonderful community of patients, advocates, caregivers, and researchers. I had the pleasure of sharing my experiences living with RA with them back then, and I am honored to be back as one of their feature writers on their new platform.
Please visit them here: CreakyJoints Canada.
