🦴 Strong bones are a lifelong investment. It’s never too early—or too late—to start.

The World Osteoporosis Day 2026 message is clear:
BUILD, PROTECT AND STRENGTHEN YOUR BONES FOR LIFE.

💙 BUILD strong bones
Choose foods rich in calcium and protein, stay physically active, maintain a healthy weight, and avoid smoking and excessive alcohol.

🛡️ PROTECT your bones
Osteoporosis can develop silently. Know your risk factors, ask whether you need a bone density test, and reduce your risk of falls through strength and balance exercises and a safer home.

💪 STRENGTHEN your bones—even after a fracture
A fracture after a minor fall can be a warning sign of osteoporosis. The risk of another fracture is especially high in the first 1–2 years. Seek assessment and timely treatment to help prevent the next one.

Whatever your age, taking action today can help protect your mobility, independence and quality of life tomorrow.

Thank you, Unlocking Lupus, for having me. 🦋

It was a pleasure speaking alongside Dr Adrian Mark and our emcee, Joanne, about lupus, reducing reliance on steroids and what safer long-term care can look like.

Thank you to everyone who joined us. To those living with lupus, and the loved ones supporting them, I hope this conversation helped you feel more informed and supported. 💙

Perhaps the thing we need to understand most is each other. 💜🇲🇾

For those living with psoriasis, it’s not always just skin. Sometimes, what we need most is simply to be seen, understood, and accepted.

Let’s look beyond the surface.

“Can I still receive treatment for inflammatory arthritis if I have had cancer?”

A history of cancer does not automatically rule out biologic or other targeted therapy.

The decision depends on your cancer history, whether it is in remission, how active your arthritis is, and the treatment being considered. Your rheumatologist and cancer care team can work with you to weigh the benefits and risks.

Controlling inflammation matters too. The aim is to protect your joints, preserve movement and improve your quality of life with a treatment plan tailored to you.

Planning a baby? Pregnant? Breastfeeding? 💙

Living with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) can bring extra questions about growing your family. Bring those questions to your rheumatologist, because you don’t have to navigate them alone.

Swipe through for conversations to have about pregnancy planning, medications, breastfeeding and life after birth.

✨ Plan early.
💊 Discuss any medication changes with your care team.
🤝 Make a plan for support after your baby arrives.

Save this for your next appointment, and bring the baby questions.

https://drramani.co/symptom-checker. Is it RA?

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an autoimmune disease that causes joint inflammation, pain, swelling and stiffness. If left untreated, it can damage the joints and may also affect other parts of the body.

Early diagnosis matters.

If you’ve had unexplained joint pain, swelling or stiffness for more than 6 weeks, try the symptom checker to help guide your next steps.

Recognise early. Act early. Protect your joints.
