I'm seeking others with parents that have children with JRA (JIA).
My DD has the polyarthritis kind.
She was dx 5 wks ago, needless to say we were in shock.
Her rheumatologist started methotrexate injection right then and there. She has 11 joints involved and some spinal involvement.
She's still struggling after five weeks. They are talking about
adding Humira if mtx doesn't work enough.
I guess I'm just searching for others who understand what it's like to watch your kid flip a stool upside down and use it as a walker.
The good news is my DD is happy and loves to laugh. She's a ray of sunshine and we're so blessed to have her.
