A chronic autoimmune condition where the immune system attacks the joints, causing pain, swelling, and stiffness — especially in the morning. Early treatment prevents joint damage and protects long-term mobility.

The most common form of arthritis, caused by gradual wear of joint cartilage over time. It commonly affects the knees, hips, and hands — leading to pain, stiffness, and reduced movement that worsens with age.

A painful condition caused by uric acid crystal deposits in the joints, most often the big toe, ankle, or knee. Attacks come suddenly and can be debilitating — but are highly manageable with the right treatment and dietary guidance.

A complex autoimmune disease that can affect the joints, skin, kidneys, heart, and brain. It is often misdiagnosed due to its varied presentation. Specialist-guided care is essential for long-term control and organ protection.

An inflammatory arthritis that develops in some people with psoriasis, causing joint pain, swelling, and skin involvement. It can affect any joint in the body and requires coordinated care between rheumatology and dermatology.

An autoimmune condition that primarily attacks moisture-producing glands, leading to dry eyes, dry mouth, joint pain, and fatigue. It is significantly underdiagnosed in women and often overlaps with other autoimmune diseases.

A condition where bones lose density and become fragile, increasing the risk of fractures from minor falls or everyday activity. It is especially common in post-menopausal women and can be effectively managed with early intervention and personalised bone health plans.

A condition causing sudden, severe aching and stiffness in the shoulders, neck, and hips — typically in adults over 60. It responds well to treatment but requires careful long-term monitoring to prevent complications such as giant cell arteritis.

A rare autoimmune disease that causes hardening and tightening of the skin and connective tissues, and can affect internal organs including the lungs, kidneys, and heart. Early specialist involvement is critical to slow progression and manage complications.

Joint inflammation triggered by an infection elsewhere in the body — commonly the gut or urinary tract. It often goes unrecognised as arthritis, delaying appropriate care. With the right treatment, most patients recover fully.

An overlap autoimmune condition sharing features of lupus, scleroderma, and myositis. It requires individualised, long-term management by a rheumatologist experienced in complex autoimmune presentations.

An autoimmune condition causing abnormal blood clotting and, in women, recurrent pregnancy loss. It often goes undetected until a serious event occurs. Early diagnosis and specialist-guided anticoagulation therapy are life-changing.
