South County Beat: Foundation seeks cure for arthritis
Natascha Skerczak is program director at the Santa Barbara Arthritis Foundation office, the nearest office to San Luis Obispo County. She suffered stiffness and soreness in all joints, severe fever and rash, and was hospitalized for two weeks before being diagnosed with juvenile rheumatoid arthritis.
She was 12. Now, at age 25, she controls the disease through medication and physical activity. Medication is usually needed, as the disease can destroy one’s joints over time. Rheumatoid arthritis is classified as an autoimmune disease, because some cells in the immune system do not work properly.
Fran Woeste of Arroyo Grande describes how her osteoarthritis “travels” around her body. The worst is in her lower back and neck. This week her back is acting up and she is having trouble tying her shoes.
Woeste, who turns 80 in March and has had five children, says that aches and pains are “kind of part of life. As we get old, we have to expect not always to feel 100 percent.”
