Hi
My name is Jo and my 15 yr old daughter, Jade, has just been diagnosed with RA. She's just about to start MTX and has been on prednisolone for the past 2 weeks whist waiting to see another rheumatologist (diagnosed by a private rheumy ... had to wait for referral back to NHS rheumy, hence the steroids!). The steroids have helped so far and Jade is feeling a little more comfortable, if not slightly "hyper".

It's great to find somewhere to chat to others with the same diagnosis.

Jo

    Hi Jo and Jade :):)

    Welcome to the forum. I am sorry to read about Jade but it is good to hear that she is feeling more comfortable at the moment. Why not call in on the other zones, either the Living with Arthritis or the Young People's zone? There are others on this forum of Jade's age or thereabouts. This zone is more for introductions and most of us look in more at the other zones.

    I hope your day goes well and look forward to hearing more from you on the other zones very soon. We are all in the same boat to a greater or lesser degree, all ages and we all try to help and support each other. It is a great site, I have been on here 3 years. :D

    Look after each other,

    Luv
