Hello! Well it has only taken me 8 years since my son was diagnosed with JIA (aged 1) for me to pluck up the courage to join a forum.... I think initially it was such a shock and he was so poorly that I couldn't face interacting with other parents in case I found out that my boy's future outcomes were likely to be poor. I am a bit braver now - hurray!

please dont be nervous we are a good lot and here to support one another , I really do feel for you , but the drugs for arthritis are involving all the time..so there is a very good chance that your son will benefit from them.
I have a little friend with JIA and when he found out I had OA he said he would learn me how to walk properly...said I was sticking my bum out when I walked...
We do have a section on the forum my child has arthritis...so if you post in there you could speak to other mum.
But also post on the LWA part of the forum then we can support you, and if you want a chat we have chitchat were all sorts go on.
I do hope to see you posting more very soon...must say the forum is very quiet at the min....xx

smile another smile and soon there
will be miles and miles of smiles
just because you smiled I wish your
day is full of Smiles
I am very glad you braved joining in
Luckily for me it's me who has the arthritis not my kids, I do understand how it is having a child who has a health condition though as my youngest has epilepsy and the eldest hemiplegic migraine.
I do hope you meet some other parents who can support you, but us adults are awlays happy to help too
