Can the way you see yourself actually influence how you feel and function?

In this Rheumatology 101 live, Dr. Isabelle Amigues discusses the Counterclockwise Study and what it can teach us about the connection between the mind and body.

The study explored what happened when older adults were immersed in an environment designed to make them behave as though they were 20 years younger. Dr. Amigues connects this concept to rheumatology and the importance of how patients envision their health journey.

Instead of constantly thinking, “I have this disease. I’m always going to be sick. Will I need this medication forever?” consider shifting the focus toward what is possible:

“I am getting better.”
“My treatment is helping me.”
“I am working toward remission.”
“What can I do today to help my body?”

Modern rheumatology has powerful treatments, including targeted therapies and biologic medications. Mindset isn't a replacement for medical treatment—but the way you approach your health journey can be an important part of how you experience it.

If you live with rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, psoriatic arthritis, inflammatory arthritis, or another rheumatologic condition, don't stop imagining what feeling better could look like.

What should you do when your treatment isn't working—or you're actually getting worse?

In this Rheumatology 101 episode, Dr. Isabelle Amigues shares an important lesson from her clinical practice: when a treatment isn't working the way it should, sometimes the answer isn't simply increasing the medication. It's time to pause and reconsider what is really going on.

Steroids such as prednisone can work quickly for many inflammatory conditions. But when symptoms don't improve as expected, or worsen despite treatment, that can be an important signal to stop and reassess.

Dr. Isabelle explains why rheumatologists may need to consider whether:

• The original diagnosis is correct
• Another rheumatologic condition could be causing the symptoms
• More than one condition is present
• An infection could be contributing to symptoms
• Another medical specialty should be involved
• Increasing immunosuppression could potentially cause harm

She also discusses a patient whose symptoms were initially thought to be rheumatoid arthritis but were ultimately found to be related to coccidioidomycosis, a fungal infection—highlighting why doctors need to remain open-minded when a patient's response doesn't match what is expected.

Most importantly, Dr. Isabelle shares what patients can ask when their doctor says, "I'm not sure."

You deserve an answer, or at least a clear next step.

Don't continue down a path that isn't helping you. Pause. Ask questions. Reassess. And make sure you leave with a plan for what comes next.
