Guest guest Posted June 20, 2008 Report Share Posted June 20, 2008 Hello all you smarties. My has Poly JRA. She had symptoms since birth. Anyone out there think a child can be born with JRA? She is RF negative and ANA positive on the blood levels. She had edema in her feet since day 2 on this planet, and she was always stiff as a board. It became obvious to my family and I, when she wouldn't move, and then only army crawled around 10 months. She had osteopenia, and had two fracture in her wrist from a blood draw last year. this after they blamed us for causing the swelling (idiots). I imagine the disease must have been present since birth, to cause osteopenia at such a young 11 months. She will be 2 next month, and is finally cruising the furniture thank god!). Well the good thing is she talks like she's my age...lol Just thought I would check everyone thoughts on being born with JRA. I found the damn disease on line after months of genetically issued tests, so I think us parents know more than doctors..lol. Well at least with our own kids . Thanks everyone for listening Lani Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
