  • There will never be a cure in a pill, they only cause worse problems.

    Please, please get your daughter on Rick Simpson's Hemp Oil. She needs to start ingesting cannabis. Lupus, cancer, etc have all been cured by ingesting cannabis, please read people's testimonies. This is something the drug companies will never tell you and I beg you go do more research for the sake of your wonderful daughter.

  • She's very lucky to have her parents. I feel my mom and dad are the only ones who understand my pain and believe me. the worst part of this is how lonely I feel. everyone gives me that "We don't want to hear it anymore!" look and think it's all in my head and not true. I have 3 kids and a sick dad to take care of and no support. The bright side is I'm making new friends online who know exactly how I feel.

  • My name is Alex I have JRA

  • @littlehottie143 my sister has JRA. and she is 15. i feel so bad for her. but she is strong. so to see her being string gives us the hope of being strong too.

  • I've had RA since age 5 and am now almost 52. Caitlin's story is so much like mine - I recognize myself in the way she was dx'ed, the way she walks, her problems in school, her parents who worry and try their best to get the best treatments for her. I think this video is as much for the parents as for the patients. The toll of the disease is written as much of the parents' faces as it is on the patients' bodies.

  • Poor Kid!! I couldn't stop crying while watching this I can't see children & babies cry & go through pain!! I didn't realize children can get this too I only thought older adults get it boy was I wrong!!! I hope your daughter get better & has less pain in her life! I know how it feels I have my own pain everyday just like your daughter & I am 32 years old!! I think I meant have this myself too!!

  • Caitlyn you are not alone.
