In our third episode, Naomi is chatting with Simone Bye from New South Wales, who lives with psoriatic arthritis. Simone was diagnosed in 2018 and is a mum of two young children. She says the hardest part of her journey has been trialling and medically failing so many treatments, which has made it difficult to be the parent she wants to be for her kids. Despite these challenges, she is doing her best to manage her condition and get on with life.
Naomi is also joined by Sarah Comensoli from BJC Health in Sydney. Sarah has several roles there as a director, head of marketing and manager of the allied health team. She has been practising as an Accredited Exercise Physiologist since 2008 and has worked in a number of clinical and gym settings since then. Sarah has been instrumental in building the Exercise Physiology service at BJC Health to be one which is unmatched in delivering care to those with rheumatic disease.
Sarah shares her expertise in working with rheumatology patients and says there is no “one size fits all” approach in helping people keep fit and healthy. She explains how tailoring an exercise program is the key to success in getting patients engaged in better lifestyle habits. Simone discusses some of the ways her allied health team are helping her integrate techniques into her daily life so she can function more efficiently, physically and mentally.

Patient PrepRheum is a podcast exploring important and often-misunderstood aspects of living with autoimmune arthritis and related conditions here in Australia. We'll speak with fellow patients and renowned doctors to help gain a better understanding of some of the less talked about topics of managing these diseases.

At CreakyJoints Australia we are on a mission to raise awareness and deepen the collective understanding of arthritis, a disease which has more than 200 variations, empowering patients to put themselves at the centre of their own health. 

In Patient PrepRheum, we are looking at three key areas:
Biosimilars - a group of biologic medicines used to slow and stop the progression of Autoimmune arthritis;
How medications are approved via the Therapeutic Goods Administration and the Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme; and
the importance of good patient-doctor communication.

Hosted by CreakyJoints Australia National Coordinator Naomi Creek.
