Son Llàtzer University Hospital
The aim is to make visible the difficulties and challenges faced by patients with rheumatic diseases through their testimonies, collected in the book Mi compañera de Vida (My Life Companion).
The Hospital Universitario Son Llàtzer hosts the travelling exhibition “My Life Companion. True stories about living with rheumatic diseases” to give visibility to rheumatic diseases and disseminate the difficulties and daily challenges faced by patients who suffer from them.
Everyone has heard of arthritis at some time. However, it is not common to hear phrases such as “it is an invisible disease because the pain is not perceived”, “it is a disease that people do not empathize with”, or “I feel some embarrassment because I do not know how to explain my disease very well”. These testimonies are a sample of how people with chronic rheumatic diseases, which cause pain and mobility problems, feel, and which are not visible to their personal, family or work environment, making the patients feel misunderstood.
