Welcome to our research blog on the effects of arthritis on your life. We are running a number of parallel projects of which this is just one. The purpose of this Blog is to help us frame the questions for a number of future projects by finding out a bit more about the kind of things that patients and carers of people with arthritis consider to be important.
Over the course of the next couple of months we will be launching research blogs into the group of conditions which are Arthritis. In particular we will be looking at Osteoarthritis, Rheumatoid arthritis, Septic arthritis, Juvenile arthritis, Still’s disease, Ankylosing spondylitis, Gout and pseudogout. Please get in touch with me if you would be keen on contributing to any of these studies as we are always keen on talking with patients about their conditions.
We are particularly interested in the impact of arthritis
- Firstly what kind of arthritis do you have? When was it diagnosed and at what age were you then?
- What is the history of arthritis in your family? Do you suffer from any other conditions?
- What treatments do you use?
- Has you diet had to change? What other lifestyle impacts have there been? Mobility issues for example?
- Have you ever had or been offered Arthroplasty? Could you tell us what was involved?
- What do you think of the information available about arthritis? How would you like to see support for the
I look forward to reading your comments and, of course, thank you very much for your input.
Best wishes
