Rheumatoid Arthritis treatment?
<< I want to find out the best medication for Rheumatoid Arthritis? Is there anybody taking Anti-TFN Infliximab, treatment for Rheumatoid Arthritis. ? >>
I’ve just been diagnosed with RA. I’m 2 weeks shy of 16 1/2. The Rheumatologist said there’s a small chance that this is just juvenile arthritis which goes away by the time you’re 17. But the fact that it’s this bad this close to me being 17, then most likely this is full-blown adult Rheumatoid Arthritis. I was wondering if there’s any forums for teens or articles about teens or anything that I could read to get some feedback from other RA teens. Please and thank you.

Kelly, here’s a link to the Arthritis Foundation’s juvenile arthritis fact sheet. Be sure to visit other areas of interest, located to the left on the main page.

The JRA site at Kid’s Health:

Kelly, I admit to knowing next to nothing about JRA. All I know is that the prognosis is different from those of us with adult-onset rheumatoid arthritis. I’ve never heard or read that JRA is a temporary thing. I do know from reading Arthritis Today that many children diagnosed at very young ages go on to lead rich, fulfilling lives. I don’t really know what to say — I feel so bad for you.
I do understand what it’s like to have RA, and the ways in which it impacts your life. A great rheumatologist can work wonders, as can a support group to help with the emotional obstacles you will certainly face. I’m sorry you have to go through this. Good luck to you, Kelly. Only the best.
