I remember a classmate from elementary school (we're talking late 1960's) who had to use crutches periodically in the winter because of juvenile arthritis. She was a sweetie. Back in the day, not much could be done. We can never give up on finding treatment for disabilities such as these. Thank you for sharing your story.

For that reason, as well as how our family personally touched by this issue, it's easy. <br /><br />I think there in might be the answer. To motivate people, they need to understand the personal connections they have to a specific topic.

What pains me just as much as the disease itself is how unaware the general public is of the fact that children can get arthritis. It also frustrates me that the mainstream media continues to ignore this disease. Perhaps they don't realize how severely children can be affected or that many treatments (likeKellyhttp://www.kellyrouba.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10282351.post-47476675752764708282009-05-03T09:37:00.000-07:002009-05-03T09:37:00.000-07:00@Hilary,

I'm sorry I wasn't able to write more up due to time, but I am researching more and will leave a longer post in the very near future. I am actually more shocked that not one other person decided to do anything on the event yesterday. I am hoping to find pictures and video of all of it to post.

Thank you for sharing your story and joining our to help educate people on JA. <br /><br />I'm so happy to hear your daughter is doing better with her treatment. As Kelly and Shaun-Marie (the new mom with JA) have said, the earlier and more aggressive the treatment, the better.
