Elizabeth was diagnosed with osteoarthritis in her hand at the age of 37. As a professional musician, Elizabeth worried about the implications on her livelihood. Thankfully, by working with a team of doctors to find the right treatments, music is still a key part of Elizabeth’s life.
After Ela started experiencing painful and swollen joints she received a diagnosis of juvenile rheumatoid arthritis. Her initial treatment of two different medications helped significantly relieve her symptoms. She is currently on one of those medications and is in medicated remission. Ela’s hobbies include classical Indian dance, volleyball, and several extracurricular activities at school. Ela’s involvement with the Arthritis Foundation has taught her how to advocate for herself and others and talking to Congress to help people impacted with arthritis. She hopes to become a pediatric rheumatologist in an area where there are very few and conduct meaningful research to help find a cure to arthritis.
