Transcript

Intro: A lot can happen in two weeks, from a national heatwave to an international congress. Inflammatory! with Debbie Wilson and Katy Pieris, navigating life with inflammatory arthritis.

Debbie: Hello and welcome to Inflammatory with Debbie.

Katy: And Katy

Debbie: It seems to have been ages since I’ve seen you, Katy. We’ve even had the summer by now and now we’re back to winter. But how are you?

Katy: Yes, yeah, I’m good. Yes, looking out the window, it’s absolutely awful. I’m really missing the half-term weather. How about you?

Debbie: Yeah, much the same, yeah, but I didn’t realise actually it was so hot though. I know obviously we’re British and we do moan, but for me it was just a bit too hot.

Katy: So very bizarrely, I know it was really, really, really hot and like really hot for London, but I actually coped with it better than I do normally. Yeah, I just had a fan blowing in here whilst I was working with the paddling pool in the garden. We do have a portable air con unit in our bedroom. So that was on at night,

Debbie: Nice. Your son hasn’t got one.

Katy: No, fan

Debbie: Fair enough. How was he in the heat though? Was he okay?

Katy: I mean, he’s a very, very sweaty little boy. So, he was just very, even more sweaty, but he was fine. Cause it was half term, so it wasn’t like he was going to school, and he did tennis camp in the morning. And then in the afternoon, he just kind of played in the garden, the paddling pool. He loved it.

Debbie: Nice. Yeah, we put our pool up as well. But then doing that, my daughter and I were sitting in the out in the patio, it’s really hot, should we put the pool up? But then standing in the hot trying to put it up, I got sunstroke. And then in the afternoon, or heat exhaustion, because I think I was learning there’s differences between the two. One is kind of a medical emergency. So it wasn’t that, but I was not a very well person at all. I had to go and…

Katy: Oh no. Yeah, because I played tennis on the, I know like the podcast episode just before the heat wave we were talking about, make sure you wear your sunscreen. Guess who got sunburned playing tennis?

Debbie: Oh Katy.

Katy: Because I got Factor 50 on and I’d reapplied Factor 50, but with, with I guess different like straps and stuff, just didn’t, whoever applied my second coat didn’t, didn’t go far enough.

Debbie: Didn’t do it very well.

Katy: But it wasn’t horrendous, it cleared up pretty quickly.

Debbie: Yeah, the bank holiday Monday. So, then we remembered we did have an aircon portable unit somewhere. So, my husband put that in the bedroom for me and just literally trying to cool me down. I flannels on my head, and I was ill and it was just it was just it was just awful because the next day was my grandmother’s funeral. So, I was thinking, thankfully it was that day, but even the day that we had the funeral, was lovely, but it was just so hot. I felt sorry for the men, I was saying, you don’t have to wear suits, because my nan wouldn’t have wanted people there sweating and almost passing out on her behalf. So was like, you don’t even have to wear your ties and stuff, but it was, yeah, it was very hot. And thankfully just beforehand in her house we found, that’s where we went back and had the wake, there was a fan in her eave storage. So, we came down and put that on and it was just blowing cooler air. But yes, it was, you kind of worry about the rain and what will happen if it rains, but then you kind of forget that air con and thankfully where we had the service, there was air con in it as well. So, people just didn’t want to leave. They were like, can we just stay here?

Katy: Well, no, I always say it’s a good time to go to the supermarket and just go and stand in the freezer aisle.

Debbie: Yeah, well actually one time I was at a conference with a friend from a previous work, this was years ago, and actually we decided to go to the cinema that evening because it had air-con.

Katy: Good idea.

Debbie: I can’t remember, I think the film was rubbish, but we just didn’t care what we were watching. We were just cooler. So yes, it has been a weather of extremes, but how were your joints though? Were they okay?

Katy: They’ve actually been alright. I’ve been quite surprised and I’ve been expecting this week to have some problems because of the sort of change. It’s that change isn’t it from cold, wet, hot and it’s due to be hot again on Saturday.

Debbie: It is. Yes, the weekend is meant to be very nice again, but yeah, because I must admit my joints, I don’t know. Also, I’m just thinking, know, BSR was only British society for rheumatology conference that they went to.

Katy: Less than a month ago. no, just over a month ago, yeah. Then you’ll then you’ll nan it’s

Debbie: It was only almost just over a month ago. And then we did this other event and then we just, yeah, an operation in between. Yes. And funeral and everything. And then, yeah, so my joints they haven’t been great, I must admit at all. And I’m still waiting for my ultrasound appointment. think this is going to be a weekly regular thing. So, I keep checking on the app and it’s like, but then she sent the letter to me saying she has referred me, but then I don’t know who to contact anymore. So, I might eventually try and find the ultrasound, but then if they haven’t then got it gone through on the system yet, they won’t know. And it would just be stuck somewhere. So, I don’t know. So yeah, so I’m trying to pace myself a bit more because actually last week I ended up going to EULAR, which I do have to, and I did Google actually what it meant. And it’s the European Alliance of Associations for Rheumatology. Again, I love how these acronyms just roll off the tongue, don’t they? And it was their Congress last week. And originally we did have one of our trustees going, but then on Tuesday you message to say, he can’t go. And it was in London in the Excel centre. I thought, well, One of us should really go because we’ve been invited to a round table event on the Friday. And so do you know what? I went, but do know what? I was so grateful there was a tube strike on the Thursday because that really meant I could pace myself. It was meant to be Saturday as well, but I couldn’t attend on Saturday. And so I did go Wednesday and I forgot how big the Excel centre is. Cause you’ve had exhibitions there for your work, haven’t you? And it is massive.

Katy: It is huge. I haven’t been for years though, so yeah, it’s hard to remember, but I know it’s big.

Debbie: Because they had a cyber security conference at the front of the Excel and EULAR was right further back. So, when I got this tube this bloke, it was talking to me about cyber security thinking I know exactly what he’s talking about. like, I’m not going to the Excel for this. And I was like, oh, I thought you were. was like, no, no, there’s another conference going on. But you had to walk past all the cyber security people and then get to EULAR, which was right at the back. And I must admit, I’m glad I went early. What early is it? It started everything about one. So, I got there about 11 half 11. And just even trying to find registration, was just on, you had to go downstairs. Thankfully there were escalators, but even still there was so much walking involved. It was huge. And then I found where the non-prescribers cafe was because if you, if you’re in healthcare professional and you have, can prescribe medications to people, you get to go to the posher areas, the nicer food, whereas obviously we don’t. But so I found where I had could have lunch and then went to the opening session and I forgot how huge it is. It’s like being in like a smaller O2 and they had a massive video going on and it was all about United in Motion and movement. And I kind of thought actually that kind of makes sense to try and what we’re trying to do because they didn’t actually mention like exercise or anything like that. It was all like, we’re in here to try and move people, move people forward in research and treatments and stuff, but actually it’s all about the movement that we have to do to keep the joints lubricated and keep the joints going. it kind of resonated on quite a few levels. And it was kind of…

Katy: Yeah. Yeah, that’s good. They look really cool, the way it was set up. When I saw people’s pictures on LinkedIn, on Instagram, there was a lot of, it seemed like there was a lot of social media going on from healthcare professionals, from other patients. So, it looked like there’s quite a big buzz around it.

Debbie: Yeah, it really was. must admit it was, yeah, because I went back in 2021 with another child. So, I haven’t been for years, but I did forget how huge it really is. And yeah, so I kind of I was rubbish on the social media side on the Wednesday. I completely forgot. I got a few, but not too many. I did a little bit. Yes, but then Friday I was like, right, aim for Friday was like, whoever you meet, get a selfie with, because that’s just what everyone was doing.

Katy: You did do a bit. You did more on Friday.

Debbie: and then tagging them in so I’m learning all about that. yeah, so it was all about regaining movement and confidence and trying to regain control over our lives really. So that was the main content going on underneath. And I did go to one session; it was called a fishbowl discussion. I’ve never been to one of them.

Katy: I used to sell sponsorship for fishbowl sessions.

Debbie: They really, they’re really cool. So yes, he had a few speakers in the centre and then we all sat around in a circle and then there were some microphones and like, well, it’s kind of our audience participation. And I thought, well, if there’s a microphone, I generally have to speak, don’t I? So, I did at the end. cause people, what they were talking about was mainly trying to get how to get younger people involved in research.

Katy: Yeah.

Debbie: I think it’s fantastic. And I really do think that there’s actually quite a lot going on in the UK. And this is why I’m involved in the JIA champions, because we’re trying to get the younger people with not only sort of JIA, but other conditions as well to get them involved in research, because in the end, they’re the ones that are going to be probably around longer when some of the research comes out. And that could have more of an impact on them and then definitely the future generations. And then the discussions then went on to actually, when do you

Katy: Yes. Yeah.

Debbie: talk about sex and relationships and things like that because obviously the treatments that we’re on, it can impact on pregnancies, but also on men as well. And I could really, I just really kept hearing my head the episode that we had with Adam about him not having this discussion. And I was just like, well, yes, we need to have it for younger people, but we need to have it across all age groups as well. And not just assuming that when you go on a medication, you know exactly.

Katy: what the consequences are, yeah. And who reads those leaflets?

Debbie: how it’s gonna affect you and you don’t. Yeah. Probably not. again, it’s just making sure that it’s being brought up in discussions and they’re not taboo. I did actually, I weirdly somehow got love Island in this. was thinking next time we need like a bingo sheet on what we could try and get into sessions. But because younger people, they are getting subjected to, this type of relationships and sex and also obviously through social media and what gets talked about in school. The younger they are at the moment, and there was a research, went to another event ages ago, and actually they were saying how many young people had even seen porn

Katy: yeah, because it’s all across everything about like banning kids using social media. There’s a lot of the stats around the age that people first find things like that is unbelievable. It is about my son’s age, of eight, nine.

Debbie: I know it was incredible and that really shocked me. So, it’s just like, this is why we need to making sure that we have these safe spaces in clinics and you’ve got the trust And even if it’s not mainly with a consultant, but with a nurse, with someone who can help you have these conversations. And that’s so, yes, but again, I was saying it’s just all across life course and you have to say that was, that was really interesting. And there’s a say, there’s a lot of work going on and it was just interesting hearing what other countries as well because again this is

Katy: That’s what I was going to say, the kind of the narrative from other countries and how that differs. Did you have any takeaways from that?

Debbie: I think some cultures differ and say, it’s just, but you just need to be aware of it. I think. And, everyone was on the consensus that again, I think because social media and everything is global, these issues are global. And actually, we have to start having these conversations early on. And so there was just quite a lot of consensuses going on actually. and then it was just, just being respectful really, but, but obviously underlying all of that is having trust in your healthcare and you know for them also to trust you as well you need to have that mutual respect and trust with each other in order to then have some of these conversations and being honest as well.

Katy: Yeah, because trust is built on honesty. it’s the healthcare professional needs to be honest, but you also have got to try and be honest with them. And there’s obviously times you probably don’t want to be honest with them, but they are there not to judge you.

Debbie: Exactly. You know, and they’ve probably heard it all before as well. You know, it is what it is. But then also what came out is that people want to hear from people as well, because sometimes you can get, as you say, you don’t read the information, but your healthcare professional tells you this. But then sometimes it really resonates more when other people going through it talk about it as well. And again, this is what then made me say, actually, we have this podcast because people hear from people and that’s what people want. You know, it’s kind of moving away from everything that healthcare people should actually have to say in these conversations. Whereas, you know, we have done these topics, which are very out of our comfort zone and making us feel very unopen and vulnerable. But it’s trying to normalize everything and humanize that it is okay to talk about,

Katy: We should be talking, we should 100 % be talking about it, especially with our medical teams. I mean, again, this is a do as I say, not as I do, because I would have been petrified bringing this kind of thing up, but…

Debbie: Of course we should. So, yes. Well, years ago I did and that’s when my healthcare professional said, no, no, you can have children. It’s fine and everything. yeah, so then it wasn’t, but you know, I don’t blame him and that it just, just makes me laugh once in a while when I try to relive that conversation. But yeah, so in that, so that’s, that was a Wednesday and then that’s when I went back and looked on the tube and there was like so many people on social media, tagging everyone in. like, right.

Katy: Yeah. Oh yeah.

Debbie: Okay, so I got home eventually on Wednesday, but I was knackered my… because again, some of the sessions are like an hour and a half long. And it’s not… and they’re not geared up for people with our conditions, weirdly, because obviously trying to get, you know, nice chairs in would cost a fortune. the Excel don’t have that.

Katy: You’re sitting for that amount of time, isn’t it? It’s really difficult. Yes, because everything’s hired in.

Debbie: So, my back hurt, my hips hurt and just so much walking as well. My, my knees and so, which is why I was glad there was then a tube strike. So, Thursday I kind of recovered and then went back Friday and I had a whole list of people that I needed to see and just to say hi and can I have a quick selfie? which I did on Friday. But it was just so lovely to see people and they were really, they’ve seen what we’re doing on, on LinkedIn and Instagram. And they’re like, it’s amazing what you’re doing. We want to come on your podcast. And it was like, great, let’s get dates in.

Katy: We’ve got a long list of guests now, haven’t we?

Debbie: So, we really do. And it was just, but again, I think it’s just really hit home, and it really validated what we are trying to do. And actually, there is this need, there is this niche there that we have hit and it, it, and it’s great. So as hard work as it is behind the scenes, it’s actually, it is really helping people and people from research side, actually spoke to a French researcher. used to work in Paris and now she’s gone to Toulouse and we had a great conversation about Paris. But she’s really trying to make sure that the patients are really involved from the beginning as well. So that message really is getting out to researchers.

Katy: Yeah and it’s spanning the whole globe essentially.

Debbie: Yes, but then one thing for me and obviously for the charity to then work on is making the podcast accessible for different languages. That’s my next thing, because then we could then go and do a podcast and then get it translated into other languages as well. that’s on our to-do list.

Katy: Yeah. Yeah, I do know how difficult that can be though because we have translators in the office.

Debbie: So yeah, that’s a discussion for the trustee board, I think. So, but it’s one way we can get a lot more accessible because again, and I was saying to, you know, to people looking at the analytics, we are global. people are listening from all over the world. So actually, we can make it a bit more accessible for others.

Katy: Yeah.  No, think we should as well. It’s just being able to.

Debbie: Yeah. Yes, yes, again, it’s kind of making sure that we’re not overstretching ourselves because I was actually talking to someone and he’s actually going out on his own, which is, I’m so excited for him, starting up his own business and everything is like, can you critique my website? It’s like, yeah, yeah, no problem. But it’s just making sure that, and I think for anyone who is self-employed as well, it is so hard for you to walk away even to have breaks and that, because you just think as it’s yours, you should be there 24 seven, making sure it’s ticking along and doing everything. But then that’s where you get burnout as well. And so, it’s just really prioritizing what you’re doing it for and just making sure that I am trying to pace myself a lot more now after hearing everything from our guests. And it’s like, I have too as well. so, yeah, just learning it. I did go to you like,

Katy: But you didn’t last week, Debbie, you went to EULAR instead of taking your full two weeks.

Debbie: I did, but you know, it was nice. It was. Yes, it got me out of just being at home and just looking at the jobs that needed doing. was just like, check and go meet people. I met so many people that I’ve been colleagues with before and it was just so lovely. And there was actually some that I met in Copenhagen they’ve got kids now and everything. It’s just amazing what happens in life. And it was just so lovely just to see people.

Katy: And you attended a roundtable, didn’t you, on Friday? I don’t know if you’re allowed to…

Debbie: I don’t see any reason why not. But yeah, so this was set up by the PARE side. So that’s the patient organization side of EULAR. And because it was in London, we just thought, let’s get the charities together and actually discuss about some collaborations. So, someone did a case study on how they collaborated with other charities to do a report. And we were all saying the reports are great. But what’s going to be the impact of that? How’s that actually going to change things.

Katy: help or move things forward.

Debbie: Exactly. I just think because again, I don’t want to be political, but because of the changes that are going on in the NHS at the moment, actually, a can we make much of a change? And obviously our voices need to be in there. But how can we as a collaborative really put our voices through and how and who can facilitate all of that as well? So it does sound very straightforward, know, that charities should collaborate and where I think our voices definitely need to be heard. do. But it’s just trying to but it is very hard because one thing that charities are lacking is time. We all report to our own boards. So, we all have our strategic aims that we’re trying to do. So it’s really how does any of that work and not trying to create more work for everyone as well. But one of the main topics was time to diagnosis and then time to treatment, which we know, especially for NASS and Axial SPA can be a very long diagnosis time. So, but then it’s trying to work out what’s going on and where can we fit in to try and make a difference. So yeah, it just started having these conversations. So, we will continue and we’ll just see where it goes.

Katy: With JIA is that, that I’m assuming can be quite a long time to diagnosis because of misunderstanding between what a child is saying, what a GP picks up on, and then actually getting through to the rheumatology teams.

Debbie: Yes, but we have no data on it.

Katy: Do we not?

Debbie: No, but this actually leads me on quite nicely. It’s the NEIAA the National Early Inflammatory Arthritis Audit. It’s been going on for quite a few years now, but it’s for 16 and above and JIA is not included in it at all. So, it’s only mainly, I think it’s mainly sort of set up for rheumatoid arthritis and other conditions that then started as well. But because we don’t actually have that data, there is data for rheumatoid arthritis for AxSpA maybe psoriatic arthritis, but I think that’s another audit. But that’s, again, this is where we need the data. And if we don’t have the data, we don’t know exactly because every, yes, and everything, has to be evidence-based. We don’t have that evidence.

Katy: There’s no impact that can be made because you don’t know what you’re dealing with. And how is that collected?

Debbie: For NEIAA that’s going through the healthcare professional. So, they have to fill in some questions about looking back and to look at the referral dates when they would then saw you when you started treatment. So, it’s patient reported outcomes as well. And so, you have to go in and fill out surveys. think it’s every, I should know because I used to manage it. It was every three months that you had to go in and look. it does help healthcare professionals completely. So, but it’s been recommissioned at the moment. And actually, I had a meeting last week again, during my two weeks off with HQIP. They run the audit and it’s HQIP is the Healthcare Quality Improvement Partnership. And they work in the NHS. And so they’re the ones that have commissioned this audit. But it’s now because it’s been going on for so long, they then recommission it just to say, actually, is it working? Is there anything that we need to take out, need to add in? And I had a meeting with them last week and actually I’ve just advocating so much to say children and young people need to be included in this. Again, because I think it would get out there more that young people can get these diseases. They’re not excluded. It should always been life course for me. And when I was working in the JIA World a lot more this is what people wanted again, because it’s that data and this is what the NHS and politicians and everything, they need that data in order to make changes. No, and it’s like, well, it’s anecdotal. What does it mean? We can’t do it. So yes, so there’s a meeting next month about it

Katy: They can’t do anything if they don’t know.

Debbie: So, it’s very important, but fingers crossed that, um, yeah, young people, and it will be amazing just to get that data and also then compare between young people and older people.

Katy: I think that’d be really interesting. And actually, just across the decades of different age ranges, because I would suspect this is just all just out of my suspicions that potentially I know Ax SpA diagnosis is generally that early twenties, late teens, but whether what that difference is between like 20 to 30 year olds and the length of time of people just maybe thinking they’re moaning young people. Just, know, and then that sort of 30 to 40 then I guess 40 plus, especially for something like rheumatoid arthritis, I would suspect maybe people get diagnosed sometimes quicker because it’s more on the GP’s mind that the average person, that is when you’re potentially likely to get diagnosed.

Debbie: Yeah, well, they have had reports out. I can’t remember the top of my head, but I’ll go back and research. Maybe we can actually get them the methodologist of NEIAA to come on and chat to us and actually, and what they actually then do with this information and what it’s meant and how has it actually impacted? if you have this data, what it then means for us as patients and for healthcare professionals as well. So yeah, we’ll get him on the podcast because think it’s

Katy: Yeah, I think that’d be quite interesting.

Debbie: It’s very important topic to discuss and actually, and especially if we’re then having to put data in as well, but it is for only those that have been diagnosed early. So, the early diagnosis, so we wouldn’t fill it in because we’ve been diagnosed. Yeah, so it’s just those, the early diagnosis, but again, great work has come out. So yeah, we’ll definitely get him on to come and have a chat with us.

Katy: We’ve already been diagnosed. No, I’d be very interested in that.

Debbie: There is so much going on and we are speaking to a potential volunteer tomorrow as well.

Katy: Yes, yes, exciting. It was Volunteers Week last week, so all very timely.

Debbie: yeah. And I must admit, you know, thanks to, I think I mentioned at the last pod but you know, thanks to you and to all our trustees as well. We are all volunteers and we just give up this time, but I think it really highlighted from EULAR last week, which is why I’m actually very glad that I went, was we are getting seen. We are getting seen by people, not only in the UK, but across the globe as well. And that was really…it was really quite overwhelming, I think a little bit as well that people are like, gosh, I know you, I’ve seen you on LinkedIn. It’s like, yeah, I think. Yeah, know, posh spice of BSR continues at EULAR

Katy: Yes, you’re now posh spice of EULAR. Have you finalised your autograph yet?

Debbie: Not quite. but I must admit my hands have been quite swollen as well. So, but again, I think that was just the heat. So we did mention in the last podcast, we did some podultery and that episode is now out as well and there’ll be links to our website. So, if you want to go and have a listen to that, it was just us talking about, more about our stories actually. And I did bump into Mel who was the host of that podcast at EULAR and she’s coming on the R pod in a couple of weeks. And while I was actually discussing how I found it hard not to ask her questions. So, it’ll be my time ask her questions, but then she was like, I wanna be asking you questions. Like, role reversal.

Katy: It will be a good one.

Debbie: So yes. It will. So yeah, we’ve got a lot more guests coming on, especially just definitely, I can’t believe it’s June now, but we will be having again another break in August, but we’ll be having loads of guests on and it’ll give you time to catch up with other episodes that you may have missed. yes, next week will be our 60th episode, Katy.

Katy: 60? my gosh!

Debbie: Thank you listening and until next week Katy it is goodbye.

Katy: Goodbye
