Death by Rheumatoid Arthritis: recounts Celia Venos' medical and personal story to raise awareness of spinal-related RA. lists the signs and symptoms of spinal instability from RA. shares recommendations from rheumatologist Dr. Kristen Ingrams for patients (86%), with spinal involvement. What people are saying about Death by Rheumatoid Arthritis: "I'm not sure I can even put my gratitude into words at all. You and your Mom gave me one of the greatest gifts - life. I am alive today because of this story, and forever grateful for you and your Mom. So much courage is required to share such tragically personal stories. In sharing, you and your Mom saved my life. I was within 12 weeks of death when I first noticed something was wrong, and never would have looked for instability. Without seeing your story, I surely would have died. After an emergency surgery, I'm back at work and using that leadership position to help share awareness about instability. You never know who will hear that and live as a result. THANK YOU." - Bridget Seritt, Co-Founder Canna-Patient Resource Connection "Death by Rheumatoid Arthritis is more than a mystery story. It is Carla Jones' passionate appeal to world to pay attention. RA is a serious illness which can lead to death by several means, one of which is spinal cord instability. Carla's sincere writing could encourage RA patients to be more vigilant with the care of their cervical spines. It could also educate physicians and caregivers that spinal involvement in Rheumatoid Arthritis is common and can become life-threatening." - Kelly O'Neil Young, Founder, and President of the Rheumatoid Patient Foundation and author of Rheumatoid Arthritis Unmasked Death by Rheumatoid Book royalties are donated to the Rheumatoid Patient Foundation (rheum4us.org) where the author serves as an Advisory Board Member.
