Guest guest Posted October 16, 2007 Report Share Posted October 16, 2007 Hi everyone Finally I have found somewhere that knows something about Stills Disease. My Son Lochlan was Diagnosed with Stills when he was 2 years old, he is now 5 years old. Its been really hard as we live in Christchurch, New Zealand and the doctors don't know much about the disease at all. Over the past 6 months he has been in more pain than normal, I have to massage his arms, legs and back morning and night to get him going. Is it normal to have headaches and stomach pains with the disease? Also he has a really high acid level in his body, his teeth decay as soon as they come through. I have so many questions that I would love to have answered, to see your wee boy in so much pain is heartbreaking. We have changed his diet to a Gluten Free diet to see if this works. At this stage we haven't given him steroids for his pain as I read about the side effects, now I'm not so sure. All he wants is to have no pain. We have 2 other children that have other health issues but not Stills thank goodness. Lochlan (16th February 2002) Regards McNicholl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
