Guest guest Posted February 6, 2010 Report Share Posted February 6, 2010 Hi, I'm new to the group and to RA. My 15 year old daughter was diagnosed yesterday with early onset of RA (sero-negative). We live in Glasgow, Scotland. I still in shock. The possible diagnosis of RA was only mentioned 2 weeks ago after taking my daughter to the hospital with pains and swelling in her ankle joints. Jade had been complaining of aches and pains through her fingers and wrists for some time but had put this down to operations she'd had 2 years ago to remove large ganglions from the wrists. The Rhuematologist believes that these ganglions were the start of RA. I'm unsure of drug treatments etc at the moment. We haven't been given much information and are currently awaiting an appointment to attend the the RA clinic to commence treatment. I have a huge amount of questions and am naturally worried about how this will affect her in the future given the fact that she's still so young. I look forwards to finding out more about you all through the forums Jo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
