Summer’s come to an end, Awareness Month is wrapped up for another year and it’s back to school. But for rare autoinflammatory patients, a new season can feel isolating and challenging with new faster-paced routines, increasing risk of viruses with the cold season approaching, and more advocacy required when talking to teachers, professors, doctors, new jobs or whatever the new season might bring. But our new AutoinflammaStory Hour community schedule has been updated on our website, with monthly offerings to connect with other patients and families who understand how challenging and isolating this rare journey can be.

empowering autoinflammatory disease patients in Canada; advocating for visibility, research, and treatment access.
About us
Having only been classified in 2007, autoinflammatory diseases are a set of often-genetic diseases that affect the innate parts of the immune system – most often causing inflammation, fevers, and blood and organ disorders. Autoinflammatory diseases affect thousands of individuals in Canada, but with varying specific diagnoses, these people have few advocates supporting their health journey. The Canadian Autoinflammatory Network (Réseau Auto-inflammatoire Canadien) is a not-for-profit dedicated to filling the gap by empowering people living with autoinflammatory diseases in Canada, by advocating for higher visibility, increased research, and treatment access from government and the Canadian medical landscape.
