This is the face of juvenile arthritis. Little me before ➡️ after treatments started working. July is national JA month. Spreading awareness that kids get arthritis is something I am so passionate about. I was diagnosed in 1995 at age two. There weren’t many treatment options for kids at that time. I was given steroids and tons of liquid Motrin. People tend to hear the word arthritis and think of an older person with tired achey joints. But the reality is, for many people (including kids!) this disease is a systemic beast that can be difficult to control. I imagine the look in that first picture is how little me would react if I could tell her we still don’t have a cure for this awful disease. But that is exactly why awareness and education is so necessary. So let’s get loud and remind everyone out there that #kidsgetarthritistoo #juvenilearthritisawareness #arthritisadvocate #psoriaticarthritis #arthritis #arthritisawareness #arthritiscommunity #psoriaticarthritiswarriors #psoriaticarthritisawareness #arthritissucks #arthritiswarrior #arthritislife #chronicillness #chronicpain #chronicfatigue #psoriaticarthritissupport #psoriaticdisease #rheumatoidarthritis #seronegativearthritis #juvenilearthritis #ankylosingspondylitis #spoonie #spooniesupport #psawarriorinwi
