Back to Atlanta

I did go to the Great Debate yesterday regarding glucosamine and chondroitin. Let's just say there's still a debate. I'll keep an eye on the followup to the GAIT study and will report back in the pages of Arthritis Today.
I'm heading back to Atlanta now, a bit ealier than planned, because there's some nasty weather on the way. I'm sorry to be missing the last few sessions at ACR this morning, such as one on controversies surrounding Sjogren's syndrome. I'll get in touch with the doctors who are presenting right now and let you all know more soon. Hoping for safe travels!

About Me

Name: DRSiegfried

Location: Atlanta, Georgia, United States

Born and raised in Bethlehem, PA (Freedom High School, class of '84; Moravian College, class of '88), I've always been extremely curious about how the body works (or doesn't) and why. My passion is helping others learn how and why, too. After earning a B.S. in biology with a second major in journalism, I attended Drexel University for graduate classes in Science and Technology Communication to learn how to share the information well. I've worked at Rodale Press on consumer publications, what is now Lippincott Williams & Wilkins on medical textbooks, and during my freelance years, I edited dozens of review books and journal articles and wrote two books, as well. I'm the author of Biology for Dummies (Hungry Minds, 2001) and Anatomy and Physiology for Dummies (Wiley, 2002). I joined the staff of Arthritis Today magazine in December, 2002, and have found a great fit here. Since then, I've been diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis. Rest assured the irony of working at the national office of the Arthritis Foundation is not lost on me. I'm married to Keith and we have three kids, ages 8, 9 and 13, with a fourth on the way.

The mission of the Arthritis Foundation is to improve lives through leadership in the prevention, control and cure of arthritis and related diseases.
