Hey, did you catch No. 10? 

I'm honored to be included in this list of people who definitely influence, inform, and inspire on a regular basis.  A downloadable infographic featuring RA facts and the SharecareNow Top Ten is available.

From the press release:
 "To be included in the SharecareNow 10 - Rheumatoid Arthritis list, influencers must have demonstrated a consistent impact on rheumatoid arthritis-specific conversations online over the past year. An individual's influence is measured and quantified through a proprietary algorithm based on more than 40 individual metrics, including rheumatoid arthritis relevance, syndication, presence and reach. These influencers are then ranked from most to least influential based on a unique scoring structure."

Now how cool is that?
