I thought it was very interesting to ask similar questions to both Todd and his father separately (really two different interviews and discussions).  Some things they described in exactly the same way (ie. spotter communication) and some were somewhat different (ie. pre-dx story).

I asked Todd if he felt that any medications he might take affect his reflexes and thinking.  That's when he said that he doesn't take any medication besides lots and lots of Ibuprofen.  No painkillers per se.  And although he has ups and downs, he is not on a disease-modifying drug.  I didn't ask him to specify 'which' type of JA he has as JA is really an umbrella term to cover a wide variety of diseases.

His father described that the inside of Todd's suit can reach 130 degrees (or was it 140 degrees?) and Todd will often lose 15 pounds during the course of a race.  He said that you can literally squeeze Todd's suit and sweat/water comes out.  I asked if Todd takes extra things such as magnesium, potassium, etc to keep his body and muscles healthy and his father said that he has an entire regimen that he follows.  So after this, I forgot to think to ask Todd what vitamins and supplements he might be taking.  It's possible that these are helping more than just electrolyte balances.  Also, I didn't want to pry too much.
