ABOUT THE PLATFORM
A clearer place to prepare—not another diagnosis website.
ArthritisFighters.com helps people organize the questions, daily-life impact, support, and logistics that often sit between scattered information and a real professional conversation.
CREATOR AND OWNER
Michael Jannicelli
Michael is an entrepreneur and brand builder—not a clinician. He created ArthritisFighters.com to make practical preparation easier and to give “fighter” a more responsible meaning.
In July 2025, Michael underwent a right total knee replacement. That lived experience shaped his belief that preparation, clear questions, home organization, and supporter communication deserve more attention. It does not make his experience universal or turn him into a medical authority.
OUR DEFINITION OF A FIGHTER
Strength can look like changing the plan.
We fight the confusion, isolation, and lack of preparation—not the person’s body. Strength can include asking for help, using an assistive device, resting, setting a boundary, choosing surgery, declining surgery, or taking more time to decide with a licensed care team.
PORTFOLIO ROLE
Arthritis and joint-life preparation live here.
ArthritisFighters.com owns the joint-specific navigation, appointment tools, daily-impact organization, supporter planning, and joint-replacement preparation layer. Broader autoimmune navigation belongs elsewhere; each substantial tool has one canonical home.
