How to leave a legacy or gift in your will to Arthritis Ireland
Osteoarthritis

Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common of all types of arthritis. It usually develops gradually, over several years, and affects a number of different joints. The cause is unknown, but it does appear more in females than males.
Covid-19 (coronavirus)

Important information about Covid-19 (coronavirus) for people living with arthritis
Living Well with Arthritis

Reduce your pain and reclaim your life from arthritis by signing up for one of our community based or online self-management course starting from September 2022.
Rheumatoid arthritis

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a very common type of inflammatory disease. The body’s natural defences (the immune system) attacks certain parts of the body instead of protecting it. This auto-immune reaction occurs mainly in the joints, but can affect vital organs too.
Fibromyalgia

Fibromyalgia is a syndrome associated with widespread pain and fatigue. There are no outward signs of the condition but fibromyalgia symptoms include severe pain, fatigue and stiffness.
Newly diagnosed

Being diagnosed with any type of arthritis can be a scary and confusing time for people. You will most likely have many questions about your condition and how it will affect you.

Amitriptyline

Amitriptyline (Amitriptyline Hydrochloride, Astilin) belongs to a group of drugs called tricyclic antidepressants. Although they are still used to treat anxiety and depression, they are also now widely used at lower doses to help block the chronic (long-term) pain of some rheumatic conditions.
Gout

Gout is a very painful form of arthritis. It is a long term, chronic condition that, if not properly managed, can affect you for your whole life.
