Welcome!

My name is LaRita Brallier Jacobs and I assist individuals and families in the journey to live better with the challenges of life-changing autoimmune disease. With this site I will share information about current research and invite your responses.

My mother, my sisters, my young daughter, and I all share more than a bond of love…we share a bond of autoimmune diseases. Each of us handles our health issues differently.

From that base of knowledge I have become a WRITER, SPEAKER, RESEARCHER, and ADVOCATE in the field of living well with autoimmune diseases. I know first hand how these diseases impact not only joints but also families, friends, and lifestyles.

Rheumatoid arthritis, Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis, Psoriatic Arthritis, Lupus, Sjogren’s Syndrome, and Crohn’s disease are related diseases. In fact, the banner of arthritis covers more than 100 disease processes.

With the help of humor I give hope to all who walk a different path because of a connection with chronic illness.

Join me, won’t you?
