[QUOTE="serenity, post: 385291, member: 6452"] Daisy Face...my difficult child has JRA...please do as much research as you can NOW. Possible tick bite? Lymes? Hereditary? You must stay on top of the eyes and ears, as well as joints. My difficult child has his first iritis at age 20. If he hadn't had the previous JRA diagnosis (at age five) he would have been given the wrong treatment. What worked for my boy...a pediatric rheumatologist who was willing to look beyond the traditional treatments to mask pain and reduce swelling...we did six months of antibiotic therapy when he was eight. By age eleven, his thighs, previously uneven, were the same length. We did the yearly checks with specialists for eyes and ears, as well as fourX/year with the rheumatologist. There were no problems whatsoever from the age of eleven until the iritis hit this past summer when he was 20. Please do as much research as you can...you will have to stay three steps ahead of this...and you can. Good luck. This can be alright. S. [/QUOTE]
