  1. Living Well With Arthritis Course

Living Well With Arthritis Course

What do others have to say about this course?

Expand

“Sometimes our disease makes us feel that we’ve no control,” says course attendee, Margaret, “But, through these courses, you learn that there are some things that you can actually control, such as your emotions or your perspective on things."  

“Although it’s true that there’s a lot that you already may know about self-management, sometimes you simply get out of the habit. The course gets you to focus on what you can do for yourself once more. That then lifts you out of the rut of simply focusing on the pain and you start to see things more positively."

“Also, you get to enjoy the support of one another in the group, including the shared experiences. You end up chatting about really practical things, such as how to prepare to meet with your consultant and information around your medications, or meditation and relaxation." 

“They can be very simple things, but they can make life a lot easier. The courses are very empowering. I come away feeling like I’m in the driving seat again, and that truly makes a huge difference in all aspects of my life.”

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Psoriatic arthritis

    Psoriatic arthritis (PsA) is an autoimmune disease - a form of inflammatory arthritis that can cause pain, swelling and sometimes damage to any joint in the body.
