Young adult onset questions

[Guest guest]

I have AS and symptoms started when I was 10 yrs old and now my 15

yr old daughter has been complaining of back aches for a couple of

years on and off.Today she told me her back is really sore all the

time.Primairly in the center section and touching the joints elicits

a ouch responce.My Dr checked her in the winter and said she didnt

have AS symptoms.Are there any of you that have teens with the

disease? Does this sound like she may have the problem too?Its got me

worried to have her have to suffer as I have.To make matters worse

Ive lost our prescription coverage.I have been doing well on enbrel

for nearly 5 years but the supply is running out.Has anyone heard of

any programs to get Enbrel?I have been given some from another

patient who was taken off it..If anyone can spare any it would be

greatly welcomed Please e mail me direct @ tvman@... Jon
