Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis
SJIA story
I just started this blog it's all about juvenile arthritis . I've had JIA since I was 12 but the pain started really when I was 9 and i started getting weird rashes when I was 10 .nobody knew what was wrong with me. I was a 12 yr old in severe pain my family didn't know how much pain o was in that's until the school board called my house telling my parents that I needed assistance to get on and off my bus. Than one day out of nowhere I couldn't walk anymore . I went to my family doctor she told my parents I was faking so I didn't have to go to school .. I went back a week later with the same symptoms except now I had a high fever ... at this point it's December my family doctor sent me to a peditrition who was super amazing she wouldn't tell me much as she didn't want to ruin my Christmas . But I over heard the whole thing .she told my mom and dad "I don't want to ruin your holidays but I believe that your child has leukemia ,in the new year we'd like to send her to the IWK Children's Hospital for a bone marrow test ... unless she spikes a high fever.than she'll have to go ASAP " . Christmas came and went . The night before school was to start again (January 2 , 2007) I wasn't feeling good my mom took my temperature and i had a fever of 102. 6 my mom called my peditrition she told my mom to bring me into the hospital ASAP as this isn't a good thing . When we got there at 10 pm all I wanted to do was sleep and they wouldn't let sleep . In the morning they were trying to airlift me to the IWK Children's Hospital but my parents decided to drive me to the IWK instead of wasting time it took 4 hours they put me in the pediatric oncology wing ... holy that's a scary thing to see how many kids have cancer ... the doctors let me sleep that night at the but the next morning I had my bone marrow test .that's a scary thing . After the test and a few days passed the doctors told us it was NOT cancer ... they did test after test After test . Finally they came to the conclusion that it was arthritis . Juvenile idiopathic arthritis to be exact . They then moved me to the pediatric rhematology wing where i met the most amazing rhematologist I've ever met in my life .. they started me on all kinds of pills and a needle . now I'm 20 yrs old a lot has changed but a lot has stayed the same I'm still on a lot of pills and 2 needles a day but things can only get better from here....what an adventure that I wouldn't wish on anyone ... sometimes I wanna go back to the IWK doctors and say Thanks for being there when I needed you
