hey, i have JIA (yeah it is Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis, well in England it is!)i was diagnosed when i was four and i am now 17. i think its great you have done this video to tell people what you go through having this disease and its great to see some of the responses you have got! we need to get the world aware that arthritis is not just an old persons disease, it affects children a lot, not just physically, but emotionally.

Stay strong and if you ever want to talk to me you can! =)

yep, arthritis is not the stereotype it protrays at all x.x. it affects me more emotionally than physically o.o. the physical pain for me isn't that bad at all, it's the food triggers, brain fog, mood swings, and fatigue that really hit me hard. i really am thankful that it isn't worse than that x.x. pain is pain any way you cut it tho. to strongness :P *clink* lol

My doctor told me I should take Enbrel injections on todays appointment. Starting Wednesday or Thursday I will inject myself with Enbrel.

I know you are going through tough times with RA (so am I, it sucks) but stay strong because I feel your pain and we both have RA.

[lmull3]

well, Enbrel has worked for me, lets hope it works for you ^^.

Do you need to have swelling?

[TheCatwoman1974]

but at least no more joint pain...i don't know how long it will last or if it might return but i just hope it doesn't.cause it's painful as hell! You take care cause i know it's hard ok. and good luck and thank u so much for this video.;)

[TheCatwoman1974]

i was doing to many things at the same time,working and going to college.so my body went nuts.so i'm glad u made this video to informe people and that other kids don't go thru what we went thru.i have the same as u autoimmine.my lungs are bad too i also have ashma,my heart is bad now.but i will tell u that after the kidnys went dead on me the pain disapeared not that i'm saying being on dialisis is a pieace a cake that is not.

[TheCatwoman1974]

i took embrell unfortuanally it was one of the medications that caused my kidneys to go bad but,it's not like we have a choice if we don't take the medications we can also go thru paralysis,i went thru a paralysis when i was 22.i was paralysed from the neck down for two weeks the medication had stopped working and my stress level was high.

[TheCatwoman1974]

I'm glad you made this video cause i have suffered from ra for 22 years i'm now in dialisis due to the diese and medications that destryed my kidneys.i totally understand u those moods swings are the worst but what made my mood swings was oeople not understanding and judging me and that would tick me off.they wouldn't belive me,now they do cause i'm in dialisis but the emotional pain i went thru i could never forget.today i have learned that i don't care what no one thinks
