Re: my daughter has Juvinlle arthritis (JIA) is anyone else trying to cope

Hi Jodawson

I have psoriatic arthritis and can recommend this website, they also have a young person's forum, obviously your daugther is too young but a lot of parents do post on it for support.

www.arthritiscare.org,uk

I hope they can find a treatment to help her soon. I do know MTX can take months to really get into your system and they like to increase the dose gradually. I've just had steroid injections into some joints too and it's so painful, I feel for your little one as it must be so much harder to deal with at such a young age.

Best wishes to you and I hope she get some improvement soon.
