Rheumatoid Arthritis
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a long-term, progressive autoimmune condition that affects around 400,000 people in the UK. Unlike wear-and-tear arthritis (like osteoarthritis), RA occurs when the immune system mistakenly attacks the joints, leading to inflammation, pain, and damage over time.
Living with RA can feel overwhelming, not just for those diagnosed, but for family members too. But with the right support in place, daily life can become more manageable and far more comfortable.
What type of support can you receive with Rheumatoid Arthritis?
A Personal Assistant may be able to support someone living with arthritis by helping with everyday tasks that have become difficult or painful. This could include light housework, preparing meals, shopping, getting dressed, attending appointments, collecting prescriptions, or getting out and about. The right support can help reduce strain, maintain independence and make daily life more manageable.
