July Is National Juvenile Arthritis Awareness Month
July Is National Juvenile
Arthritis Awareness Month. There is estimated 300,000 children
in the US who have everyday challenges living with juvenile arthritis (JA) and
related diseases. Arthiritis just doesn’t effect adults. Juvenile
arthritis is an umbrella term used to describe the many autoimmune and
inflammatory conditions or pediatric rheumatic diseases that can develop
in children and teens.
The various types of
juvenile arthritis have many common symptoms, like pain, joint swelling,
redness and warmth, but each type of JA is distinct and has its own
unique characteristics and how it affects the body.
Watching your child
struggle everyday is hard with the little things we take for granted. Exercise
and movement is important. When you have other issues on top of JA it can be
even more challenging.
My hero, my daughter is
one of the 300,000.
