Good luck, Kami. I hope your daughter doesn't have either condition.

Not an MD

Kami, How old is your daughter? My daughter is now 14 and was

diagnosed with Juvenile arthritis at the age of 8. In 2007 we went to

Hershey PA to the juvenile arthritis conference. We met some

pediatric rheumatologists. There is a group called juvenile arthritis

that you might be interested in. Lots of people with kids who have

JA. They have lots of great advice. Good luck at the appointment.---
