Hi there. I was wondering if someone who has been in this chatgroup for awhile could get back to me and let me know if it would be ok for me to post something. It's regarding a project I am working on that revolves around people who have Rheumatoid Arthritis and have or are taking the drug Orencia. It's positive and informational.
Any response back would be appreciated.
Thank you in advance,
Cambria
Can't make a judgement until I see it. So go ahead and post it.
Thanks,
Cambria
Is this to bring more awareness to the issue of RA? Would the person be speaking about it's affects?
Also, lots of people with RA don't feel that they are that attractive any more, although I have seen some cuties.
It's a testimonial so it is absolutely to bring more awareness and it's your story. So yes you would be talking about it's affects. Now the only thing is that the person must have taken or been taken the drug Orencia. The commercial isn't about the drug, it's just being sponsored by the drug company that makes it Bristol Myers Squibb. I am also looking for people who suffer from Cardiovascular Disease and take a BMS drug. So if anyon suffers from that too let me know.
In fact if anyone would like go to www.bms.com and click the top left hand corner to see the current testimonials that are out there for cancer/AIDS. I worked on casting those commercials with Jenny.
About attractive; we want real people we don't want models. I am 27 years old, was born with a Port Wine Stain birthmark on my nose, and a Congenital Heart Defect. I have had two open heart surgeries and have a nice zipper scar down my chest. I love telling my story, and think the scar makes me not only special but attractive in my own way. The only attractive thing we are looking for is your story.
Look forwarding to hearing from you and others.
I think you should post the flyer. We sure could use some awareness raising. But not many of us have used Orencia.
