How old is your child? We live in Lavergne. We are in the begging stages of treatment so far just prednisone and its been a tremendous help I've started a healthier diet and supplements fingers crossed these help. I feel the dairy and saturated fats have contributed to her inflammation, she is a teenager after all those are their favorite go to foods. Our next decision methotrexate or jaw joint injections neither sounds appealing and both seem to scary to subject a growing girl to, so I'm praying an searching for guidance :) I am happy to shre support!! Ill send you my email if you like ;) Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3329030199907588064.post-19879573855427192732013-02-27T07:09:54.685-06:002013-02-27T07:09:54.685-06:00This is Savannah Nelson, thank you so much for the...This is Savannah Nelson, thank you so much for the nice comments.

Her father now does her shots (3 weekly now) and she complains he doesn't do it right. I keep hoping she will get fed up enough to try herself. I would love to chat on a more personal level in regards to treatments, similarities and experiences with our daughters JIA. We are relatively close. We live southeast of Nashville. Would you be opposed to emailing? I was thinking of starting a local support group if there is not already one here. It is so helpful during the down times of this disease to have others who share what we do and also a blessing to share the positives that lift up our spirits. Take Care and God Bless.<br />Trishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18430266714524111680noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3329030199907588064.post-25512095180140071222013-02-05T14:05:26.198-06:002013-02-05T14:05:26.198-06:00Thank you for your comment.

Savannah is home from school, now, fighting a cold, because her body has a hard time fighting off sickness because of the JIA drugs. However, every day is a new day, and we try to look for the beautiful scenery along this bumpy road. It has been a process to get Savannah where she is at today. She has been angry, sad, anxious, scared, the whole roller coaster of emotions. BUT, she has also become much stronger and courageous along this journey. I have to tell you a funny story about the shots. Savannah was eight years old when she began Methotrexate shots. The first two, I did okay. The third shot, I was so nervous that I freaked her out because she said it looked like I was getting ready to perform target practice on her arm...like throwing a dart! She said, "I am taking over from here!" So, the reason for her doing her own shots...plainly, I scared her to death with my method of shot giving! Give your girl time...the courage and strength will come. Blessings to you. -Jenny hopeforsavannahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04467864938336814241noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3329030199907588064.post-6721826521893177022013-02-05T13:09:17.910-06:002013-02-05T13:09:17.910-06:00Thank you Jenny for sharing your stories. My daug...Thank you Jenny for sharing your stories. My daughter too was diagnosed with JIA in January 2012. We knew something was medically wrong but had been on a quest to find the answers. They had been running test after test then finally a flare up. The cbc was the answer....finally! I cried for you and your daughter at first, then I realized, hey...that's our story! I shared your blog on my fb wall because I too feel that people truly don't understand how they hurt and what our kids go through daily. Your little Savannah is AMAZING. I asked my daughter to look at your blog in hopes that she actually will. I am struggling with her accepting this as "her" illness as she refuses to give her own injections. I am hopeful that your little Savannah will be an inspiration to her...I know she is for me! Bless you both and many prayers.Trishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18430266714524111680noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3329030199907588064.post-13095916332809104892013-02-04T13:51:21.298-06:002013-02-04T13:51:21.298-06:00Thank you for your sweet comment.

When we told her no, she said that she was going to tell Savannah that she didn't bleed either. Once again, thanks so much!
