I have been living with RA for over half of my life and have learn to deal with it.  I learn early on that you have to fight this diease every day to win and I have done that. My daughter was told on her 18th birthday that she had adult onset RA.  That hurt me more than my normal pain but we learnt to deal with it and move on.  Now my six years old granddaughter has been told she has JRA.  I know with all the advances in treatment and new medicienes that she will be okay because she also has my fighting spirit. But to think about her dealing with the pain is tough to acknowledge.  Thank you RA central for provide a place for us to unload problems and to share our thoughts.
