Dear Senators, Cruz, Cornyn and Congressman Barton...
I post this because Vets are also extremely critical patient
s in
the Arthritis realm. They all too often come back with all types of
arthritic problems after their tours are over. The DOD helps to do
research on these issues and I wanted to also let you know this is
critical to thousands and thousands of your constituents yearly. So many
hours of time are lost on jobs due to these horrendous illnesses, along
with people not able to support and care for their families.
Medications are much too expensive and without those most of us are
unable to have any type of "normal" life. I urge you to help and join
and/or sponsor the Arthritis Caucus. WE need your help and support! I
would , be happy to send more information about how the devastating
illnesses effect Texans along with the rest of the nation. May is
National Arthritis Awareness Month! 1 in every 5 adults, 300,000
children & countless families are affected by arthritis. It accounts
of $156 billion annually in lost wages and medical expenses.
I also sent a tweet about these issues.
This is Arthritis Awareness Month! We need YOU to also ask for support from your own Congressional Leaders.
You can now tweet them, email them, snail mail them, and post to their Facebook pages. Most all of them now are also on Social Media, so that makes it much more simple to get your voice HEARD!!!
So this for ALL that suffer everyday from these horrendous diseases, that absolutely destroy our qualify of life... they have mine and I know MANY others that also feel their life is almost nothing due to these illnesses....
