Guest guest Posted May 3, 2001 Report Share Posted May 3, 2001 I was told that it is kids with pauci who test positive for the ANA factor. I think it is the testing positive for ANA that is the clue no matter what kind of jra they present with originally. Michele uveitis question hi, isnt a fact that systemic kids are way more likey to have problems with uveitis? i thought i read that here several times before and tried telling someone about it, but they insisted i was absolutely wrong. so help, isnt it systemic kids? or not? brandy _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com To manage your subscription settings, please visit: For links to websites about JRA: http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Village/8414/Links.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 3, 2001 Report Share Posted May 3, 2001 Hi It is my understanding that those most likely to get uveitis are pauciarticular with a positive ANA. Others are not " off the hook " ; they are just lower risk. uveitis question > hi, isnt a fact that systemic kids are way more likey to have problems with > uveitis? i thought i read that here several times before and tried telling > someone about it, but they insisted i was absolutely wrong. so help, isnt > it systemic kids? or not? brandy > _________________________________________________________________ > Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com > > > To manage your subscription settings, please visit: > > > For links to websites about JRA: > http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Village/8414/Links.html > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 4, 2001 Report Share Posted May 4, 2001 , Every rheumatoid and connective tissue disorder has the potential for uveitis. I have and elevated sed rate and c reactive protein and I and ANA and Ra negative, but I have uveitis. SO they know its an autoimmune disorder.

Guest guest Posted March 22, 2011 Report Share Posted March 22, 2011 You don't want to hear this, but what you describe sounds like it could be a drop in blood pressure. Since it is a position change, that would make me think that. Some children with JRA have a problem maintaining their blood pressure. It is something like dysautonomia. I have a friend whose child with jra has to take a med to keep her bp up. I would take her to the pediatrician to be on the safe side. They may want to check her blood pressure in various positions, called orthostatic vital signs. Then may order a tilt table test, if her bp is dropping. Sorry. > > Hi all.

Guest guest Posted March 22, 2011 Report Share Posted March 22, 2011 Heh. Well, really, I don't want to hear any of this. Stupid JRA. But its a wise thought. I have really low bp and have had this problem from time to time. My plan is to call the pedi rheum in the morning anyway. Her knees are getting worse and worse. Thanks Audra.
