Hi Jodawson, I'm so sorry you are going through this. I'm afraid I don't have any personal experience of JIA, but I've just looked it up on the internet and found a discussion forum you may want to look at if you haven't done so already.

Keep posting on here though because the ladies are very supportive. Please don't feel isolated because there are people out there who want to help you and offer you thier support. As Elsie had said, speak to your GP to see if there are any support groups in your area.
