Hi all. I'm New here.

[Guest guest]

I'm Kris, I am a young mom of a 2yr old little man name . About 3

weeks ago my son was dx with Still's Disease (Systemic-Onset Juvenile

Rheumatoid Arthritis). He is taking Anakinra and steroids and is so

much better, A total different kid. He still is in pain sometimes. We

have our second rumy doctor appointment Tuesday. Last time it didn't

go so well because we was so tired. I hope they can better assess him

and they are doing the first blood work since the dx. Please can ya

wish us luck. And if i don't get back on here before Christmas. I hope

you all have a safe and merry one.

Hi Kris! Welcome to this group. I have an 8 year old daughter that

was diagnosed with systemic jra at the age of 3. I know how scary it

can be at first. That is wonderful that has responded to

kineret. There have been so many new drugs since my daughter was

diagnosed. We have had many ups and downs, but through it all my

daughter is a very happy girl and excels at academics. You have to

redefine " normal " for your family. Take care and feel free to ask

questions.
