## What is Bezzy RA?

As humans, we’re hardwired for connection. Belonging to a community makes us feel safe and helps us thrive. 
 
But so often, living with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) can make you feel physically and emotionally isolated. Not only can it be hard to do things you loved before your diagnosis, but it can also feel like no one understands what it’s like.
 
Until now.

Our mission is to cultivate a space powered by the RA community and empowered by each other. From one-to-one chats to conversation forums, we make connecting easy. This is a safe place to find and receive advice, to seek and offer support, and to discover the authentic stories of members, just like you.
 
Bezzy RA is a free online platform bringing new meaning to the word “community.” 
 
Our aim is to create an experience where:
- everyone feels seen, valued, and understood
- everyone’s story matters
- shared vulnerability is the name of the game
 
Bezzy RA is a place where you are more than your RA. It’s a place where, finally, you belong.

HOW IT WORKS

Social-first Content
Like all of your favorite social networks, we’ve designed an activity feed to connect you with other members living with RA. We pride ourselves on making Bezzy RA a safe and secure space where you can join live discussions, connect one-to-one, and read the latest articles and personal stories.

Live Chats 
Need to vent? Get advice? Share what’s on your mind? Hop into a daily live chat to join the conversation. They’re often led by our amazing Community Guide, but you can also expect to chat with other advocates and experts, too.
 
Forums
From treatments to symptoms to daily living, RA changes everything. Whatever you're feeling on any given day, there's a forum where you can connect and share directly with others.
 
1:1 Messaging
Let us connect you with a new member from our community every day. We’ll recommend members to you based on your treatment plan, lifestyle interests, and needs. Browse member profiles and request to connect with anyone from our community with members listed as “Online Now.”

Discover Articles and Stories
We believe that shared experiences empower the kind of belonging that can help people not only survive—but thrive—with RA. Our stories offer perspectives and tips from people who know what it’s like.
Get handpicked wellness and member stories delivered to you each week.
 
Connect Safely Anytime, Anywhere 
We take thoughtful steps to build safety, security, and privacy into our platform and foster an environment where members feel safe sharing their personal experiences. Check and send messages, see who’s online, and get notified when a new message comes in—so you’ll never miss a thing. 

Bezzy is not a substitute for the advice of a medical professional familiar with your specific needs. It's important to always speak with your doctor before making any medical decisions.

### 1/5 — Stop! Read the privacy policy!

*2025-07-06*

You are giving them permission for ALL aspects of your life.  They can connect to your doctor, insurance, etc

### 5/5 — I’m new here… hi everyone

### 5/5 — Me and RA & PSA

*2022-03-21*

I also have Osteoarthritis and each day holds an unusual challenge. I am known as the Bionic Woman in my family but seriously we weren’t promised this life would be all cake and ice cream. I thank everyone including the Arthritis Foundation for coming up with some of the remedy’s for these disabling diseases. Keep plunging on. Fellow sufferers I salute you.

### 5/5 — Bezzy RA

*2022-02-16*

I have rheumatoid arthritis, l was diagnosed over 20 years ago and just today l found this app as well as the community just today, l wish l found this years ago but, l am here today, and l am not going anywhere any time soon. Such great wonderful people are there waiting. Thank-you for all of it.

### 1/5 — Hijacked my access to the internet

*2021-08-01*

The app hijacked my internet access. Had to remove the app and even after removing the app It blocked my access to the internet - I had to shut down my phone, restart and erase the search line before I could get access to the internet 😡

### 5/5 — Many RA Reference Places

*2020-12-26*

There are many RA reference places that I have tried but find RA Healthline to be the best. It has lots of different areas of information to jump around on! It can pair you up with like patients to yourself but are not committed to do this if you feel uncomfortable. It also has various area sectioned off such as pain and medications, nutrition, mental health areas plus they have an interactive conversation with posted area of concern advertised ahead of time in case you want to jump on board! I LOVE this app!

### 4/5 — Ykceba

*2020-11-30*

This is a great way to share info. Concerns and ongoing issues.
Meeting and greeting can’t hurt anything going down our own journey.
God bless.

### 4/5 — RA Healthline

*2020-10-27*

This app could actually be no.1 app if there as a way to track ingredients or foods that cause your personsal inflammation & pain. i need to be able to avoid foods that may inflame jointers. .

### 1/5 — Please help

*2020-10-13*

I tried to sign up and the app said my phone number was invalid, which I know not to be true, so I exited the app and tried again but it said my phone number has been blocked. I am a bit disappointed as I was really excited to join the community - I really need some support right now - and tried to google how to get in touch with someone who might be able to help unban me, but I couldn’t really find anything. The app support button on this page also leads to a form that says it’s experiencing issues so this was the only way I could think of to get a hold of someone. Is there anything I can do? Or at least some other contact information I can try?

### 1/5 — Won’t accept my phone number

*2020-10-12*

Try to enter my phone number, actually tried two different numbers, and it says passcode can’t be sent. Nothing wrong on my end! Frustrating!!!
