Juvenile Arthritis to Rheumatoid Arthritis to PREMATURE DEATH???
My daughter was diagnosed with Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis when she was 4 yrs old. She is one of the 10% (?) of kids who don't grow out of it (so is it now RA?) and, at the age of 20, it affects virtually every joint in her body, with permanent damage to her wrists and neck. From very early on, her mantra was "I will NOT allow my arthritis to rule my life" and, although obviously some activities are closed to her, she tries very hard to remain true to this. However, the other day, she was researching Rheumatoid Arthritis in order to write a newspaper article and, amongst the information she received, was one study (conducted among those who were diagnosed with RA at the age of 50) which said that RA could lead to premature death. One of the causes of death that was sited was renal failure - my daughter is already experiencing kidney problems that, so far, have not been satisfactorily diagnosed. Obviously, she/we are VERY scared. Is there any rheumatologist out there?
Why can't she speak to her consultant? She lives in Southern Ireland and is experiencing problems with her employers due to the sick leave she has taken (actually, perhaps only 10 days in the last 3 months - pretty good, given her condition?!) and has therefore delayed her next appointment.
Hmmm - thanx 'smartypants' - but methotrexate did nothing for her.
