Associated with older people, rheumatoid arthritis is a leading cause of long-term disability in the UK, with an 12,000 new diagnosis every year. It is not only the elderly who are diagnosed with the condition but the young as well. Sufferers will not only struggle with their day-to-day life, but raising children and pushing prams will all exacerbate the symptoms.<\/p>\n
www.funkyarthur.co.uk , is an online store trying to bridge the age gap selling modern arthritis aids and gadgets, with the young in mind. It is not only the elderly who are diagnosed with the condition.<\/p>\n
Business owner Angela Lown said \u201cWhen I was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis at the age of 36 I was in complete shock. I had always thought that arthritis was something that came to you in old age, not something that you could have in your 30s with 3 small children to look after.\u00a0 My shock was compounded by the lack of online provision for modern arthritis aids and gadgets that would help me maintain as much normality as possible. This frustration inspired me to create www.funkyarthur.co.uk\u00a0 \u2013 a website where people can come and buy great products with ease\u201d.<\/p>\n
