Episode 26 - Arthritis Life

This week we have Cheryl Crow come onto our podcast to discuss her diagnosis of rheumatoid arthritis, the platform she’s created called Arthritis Life, as well as medical gaslighting. In the middle of our conversation, we dive deep into methotrexate and pregnancy. Not only that, we talk about acceptance and commitment therapy, some life hacks that she loves to share with others as well as the importance of mental health.  

We have linked some articles here for all of you to read if you are interested in learning more about methotrexate and pregnancy: https://academic.oup.com/rheumatology/article/55/9/1693/1744535
