I don't know where you live in Central Texas, this Dr. is in East Texas east

of Dallas. I like her she is really good.

Hi everyone! This is my first time posting on this group. My daughter

has had JRA since she was 4. When she was 5 we started seeing Dr. Gabe

Mirkin in land who began treating her with antibiotics. She was on

them for less than 6 months and went into a 2 yr remission. When her

arthritis did come back it was very aggressive and affected many more

joints. We moved to Texas that year so could no longer see Dr.

Mirkin(who is now retired). I was just wondering if anyone else has used

antibiotics and knows doctors in the Central Texas area(or

elsewhere)and what your experience was. Thanks so much!!

We are near Austin, but at this point willing to drive anywhere

because of the effectiveness of the treatment and the steady decline

in our daughters condition. Thank you so much for the reply.

Eva, Thank you so much for the recommendation. I have been on her site

and received other responses recommending her from other groups I have

posted on as well. I even emailed the road back home site and they

sent back a response with her at the top of their list. I plan to call

her on Monday, my daughter and I are so hopeful again!! You should

have seen the look on her face when she thought she could be arthritis

free again. When I told her it would be a 4+ hour drive she said she'd

drive 3 days! Thank you again!!
