I think this is a very good point that the difference in disease perception and the impact it can have on a persons life is very much linked to their age. There was a clip of a gentleman who found it very helpful to speak to people at his place of work; many of whom were "elderly." He found that either they had suffered from RA themselves and had tips and advice on how to cope or they had suffered from other, perhaps worse, conditions and he found it inspiring to hear their stories.
