Stephanie Marynus
Rheumatoid Arthritis
Adult Honoree
Stephanie's rheumatoid arthritis diagnosis came in 2018, events leading up to her diagnosis are like most other autoimmune tales – fulfilling passions abruptly taken away by sudden, severe, and unaccountable pain. With a degree in Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine, the declining health made it clear the quick, repetitive motions required of an acupuncturist weren’t helping. Her and her partner decided to view his job opportunity as a sign to pivot westward. Now on the other side of that enduring flair, Stephanie is starting over. She is grateful to the Arthritis Foundation for providing a soft-landing spot of guidance, protection and community.
