Welcome to the AiArthritis Blog!

Resources and insights from those who’ve walked the path—our peers, including those diagnosed, those yet to be diagnosed, and their dedicated care partners.We don’t just echo the patient voice; we embody it. Here, you’ll discover resources and guidance crafted by patients to assist you in navigating your journey with AiArthritis diseases.


Our blog is overseen by our Community Awareness leaders: Kelly Conway, one of the co-founders of AiArthritis and someone living with non-radiographic axial spondyloarthritis, and Eileen "Chronic Eileen" Davidson, who lives with rheumatoid arthritis. Alongside Kelly and Eileen, we also feature contributions from staff, volunteers, and community members impacted by these diseases. From the latest research and disease education to uplifting narratives, you’ll find it all right here.
