Share Your Story

Having arthritis provides people with many different experiences. Naturally many of these revolve around pain, fatigue and frustration, but there are also a growing number of stories that are positively inspiring and heartwarming.

Whatever your experience is of having arthritis or caring for somebody with the condition, we want to hear from you. Even if you don't think you have much to tell, you may be surprised once you begin!

Reading the experiences of other people who have faced arthritis and how they have managed is an important part of the treatment and adds a human element by offering comfort and inspiration to those looking to take control of arthritis. Even a little anecdote, like how you learned to adapt at work or as a parent, can make a big difference to someone else facing a similar challenge.

Arthritis Ireland would therefore be very grateful if you would share your story with us, and in doing so help us to support people with arthritis across Ireland. Please email info@arthritisireland.ie or phone 01 661 8188 for more information. Below are just a few examples of some of the stories people have shared:
