My Rheumatoid Arthritis Journey

07/03/2026

Thank you - your hot/cold wrist & ankle wraps have been a great addition to my at home flare care kit!

2 hrs in the freezer or 30secs in the microwave for some well needed relief! 😮‍💨

I still haven’t made my decision as to whether hot or cold works best for me! Let me know in the pol below, what you find works when flaring.

🏅Medal Monday 🏅

My 4 x 10k’s for 2025 are now complete 🙌

💫 30th November - Beddington Park - 58:32

💫19th October - Hampton Court 10k - 57:35

💫25th June - Battersea Park 10k - 58:31

💫23rd March - Nonsuch 10k - 55:40

Definitely shows progress isn’t linear! Juggling life, inflammatory arthritis and fitness can be tricky! I haven’t run as much in 2025, but I wanted to keep it up and this challenge certainly has helped me to do that!

If you can spare some change, I will add the sponsor link in my stories!

What can I do to stay motivated in 2026? Suggestions welcome!

I had a great time in .

March is ! ⚡

These conditions bring daily challenges, yet so many people continue to push forward with incredible resilience.

I was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) in 2011, a form of inflammatory arthritis (IA) where the immune system attacks the joints, causing pain and swelling.

Inspired by the strength of those living with IA, I became a founding trustee of alongside the amazing who has lived with JIA since childhood. We believe these challenges have made us stronger and hope to empower others through our charity and podcast, Inflammatory! (available on the website (inflammatoryarthritis.org Apple & Spotify).

💙 This year, I’m running four 10K races—breaking a marathon into manageable parts, just as we do when living with IA. If you’d like to support, please sponsor me here: https://www.justgiving.com/page/katys10ks

Let’s keep raising awareness, supporting each other, and celebrating the strength of those living with autoimmune diseases! 💪

World Arthritis Day 2024: My Journey with RA 💪💙

Today is World Arthritis Day, and I’m reflecting on my journey with rheumatoid arthritis. Diagnosed in 2011, I ran my first marathon in 2012 and a second in 2013. Since then, I’ve dedicated my voice to raising awareness about the realities of living with arthritis—whether through speaking on the radio, participating in videos, or speaking at parliamentary receptions.

Arthritis affects over 350 million people worldwide, and it’s not just “joint pain”—it’s a daily battle. But with awareness and support, we can fight for better care and understanding. Let’s continue to educate, advocate, and support each other. 💙

This should work well for Instagram’s format!
