weight loss

[Guest guest]

Another question for you all. As far as I know, Lucy's symptoms

started in October. At least that is when I noticed that her wrist was

swollen and stiff. The JA may have started much earlier than that.

But in early October she weighed 53 lbs. (She's nearly 7 years old.)

When we went to the doctor last Monday, she was down to 48 lbs. I've

been paying a lot more attention to what she eats. She's the youngest

of four and in the past I pretty much made dinner and they ate whatever

they ate. But now I am paying attention, and she seems to have very

little appetite. Is this common with JA?

Thanks,

Amy
