Guest guest Posted October 13, 1998 Report Share Posted October 13, 1998 Ray, I am going through this issue with my daughter and grandaughter. As you know, the auto immune diseases, esp. RA have a strong genetic component. My grandmothers way back to me have RA, my daughter lupus, my son PA. Now my 4 year old grandaughter is showing symptoms of what I believe to be some sort of arthritis.i.e. sore joints, can't walk far, lack of healing in a sprain etc etc. My daughter is in absolute denial and calls them " growing pains " !! I can't even get her to make Kenlyn a check up appt.I have even offered to pay for it. This little girl is my soul mate and it just breaks my heart that my daughter is in such denial that she won't even have a set of lab tests run. Don't know what to say or do....
