Chronic & autoimmune conditions: seeing the whole picture
Autoimmune conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis and Sjögren’s syndrome are far more common in women, and many women notice their symptoms change with their cycle, pregnancy or menopause. Osteoarthritis also becomes more common after menopause. Hormones, metabolism and inflammation are closely linked, so we look at them together.

Rheumatoid arthritis
Joint pain, swelling and morning stiffness, often with fatigue.
Sjögren’s syndrome

Does this sound familiar?
“I wake up with swollen hands and stiff joints.”
“I’ve seen so many doctors, and nobody connects the dots.”
“I take several medications and I’m not sure they all still fit together.”
“Since menopause, my joint pain has become much worse.”
“I’m exhausted all the time.”
How we approach it
