Hi my son is not diagnosed with JIA but they are keeping an eye on him due to various things. I know the anxiety I have experienced. I feel for you and hope you can contact others in the same position.

Wishing you well and the best care and treatment.

Hi, Just a thought, but why not try putting this on the Young Peoples Forum? Just an idea, as I know their are parents like you about here. Good Luck Sue

Hi Lisa

You are definitely not the only parents out there with children with jia although I can well understand that it must feel like that at times.

I did a quick search on here (using the seach button) and I am probably not doing it correctly as it seems to take me ages but I have come up with a few usernames of peeps that have posted a relevant thread in the past. If you would like to read them you can search for their names or search like I have done and type in JIA.

The user names I found when looking quickly were:
konnie
mythree
worrywort
worriedmum
lozgirl101

I do hope this helps a little. I really do feel for you.

Love

I'm the opposite, i'm a child (well i'm sixteen now) with JIA. It's really nice to see you care enough to come online and find out about arthritis and talk to people about it My parents never did anything like this, maybe it would've helped them and me.. but i just wanted to say thankyou, because your child is gonig to know you're on thier side and doing everytihng you can to help When that happens it's an amazing feeling because you can feel so alone..

Love

Dear Katherine

That is a very heartwarming message that you have sent to Lisa and it will mean a great deal to her. Perhaps for your parents there was not so much of an opportunity for them to find out about arthritis as there is now.

You sound a lovely person and I wish you all the very best and I am sure you will go far.

Love
Elna x

I think there are an awful lot of us, who, as children had a lot more aches and pains as we grew up. Possible diagnosed as growing pains. I know I was one of those

I was always anaemic. Had to have blood tests every six months until I was 18. This was because I was with foster parents and it was part of the course. I use to hate these check ups with the doctor. The soreness etc was always 'growing pains'.
