Re: Just joined the group.. daughter has poly JRA

[Guest guest]

hi ,

Welcome to another good source for support, ideas, friendship and

knowledge. As you can see from the last dozen or so posts, Georgina

keeps us up to date with some of the latest research articles, too.

What is the other board you participate on? I've heard of a couple

others, and peek in once in a while, but this is my main place and

it's wonderful.

So it seems Jordan has had this for 18 mos. or so. There are a lot

of veterans here -- some even as adults with JRA, as well as a bunch

with tiny little ones like yours, and everything in between.

We all have our stories and you'll learn a little more about

everyone each day. I've been on this since Feb. I only

wish I had found out about it four years ago, when our story began.

Anyway, welcome again and ask anything you ever want.

-Welcome ...

Its good to have another expert to add their thoughts into the

discussions. This is an awesome group of people. I have been blessed

to find them. I was very fortunate to find the list at the same time

as my son was being DX. It sure helped me though the whole process. I

couldnt have done it without the knowledge and support that everyone

here shows.

I hope that things go well for Jordon and that they find a medication

that will help.

Welcome again

Hi ,

Welcome to the group.A great bunch of people here.Even though you don't have

any questions now ,just know you can ask away any time.We are quite a lively

bunch.

Sorry Jordan has to move on to a stronger drug but these drugs can give us

our children back.

Hugs
