Amanda, a young adult with JA, talks about how she found the best way to manage the challenges of her chronic illness through acceptance, yoga, coping skills, and a career path.
i have juvenile rheumatoid arthritis right now, i'm 15. It has impacted my life dramatically but i'm coping with it. i had symptoms since i was 13/14 but i only got diagnosed about a year later. this video really did help because i have also guided my studies to go along the path of jra in order to help children who suffer from the same disease as i get older :)
Please research this! My daughter just got diagnosed. I would love to have people like you who understand what she needs to do real research on what we can do to help her.
I can relate to fighting the treatment and thinking there's got to be another way.Acceptance is a big factor in getting well. I think we all have days where we don't accept it, we just want to scream "why me!!!!"Great job on this video, I think it's going to help a lot of young people out and us old folk too:) Oh yeah,I can't believe that OT said that. She's got no business doing that, especially in her position of power and influence with young people who tend to believe what adults say!
