How I Coped With Osteoporosis
Chow Ah Yee looks healthy for a 83-year -old woman. Yet, she
dares not leave her home these days for fear that she may fall or faint while
outside. Ever since she has been diagnosed with osteoporosis a few years ago,
she has been careful not to over-exert herself for fear of fracturing herself.

Ms Lee
At first glance, Lee Ann Gee looks like your typical 24-year old. This Kajang lass, whose demeanour belies that fact that she is suffering from Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis (JRA), is the recepient of the first-ever AFM IT scholarship.

Is Arthritis A Stigma?
Do you know what an arthritic patient has to go through in his or her daily life? Can they work? Does arthritis make them wheelchair dependant or bedridden? And most of all, are they afraid to let people know they have arthritis, either for personal or professional reasons?

Mdm Cheah
Although pain can incapacitate one, Liyen’s
experience is living proof that mind can rule over matter. When she first
started having pain at her fingers and knees 3 years ago, the single mother was
so determined to ignore her agony that she carried on her daily activities with
only painkillers.
