Rheumatoid Arthritis Week, 16th – 22nd September
Rheumatoid Arthritis Awareness Week highlights the issues that people with this condition suffer with on a daily basis, and increases public awareness and understanding. Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) impacts roughly 2-3 times more women than men. In RA, the immune system doesn’t know when to stop doing its job, so mistakenly attacks the synovial membrane around the joints, causing pain and swelling, and it can also affect other organs.
