I am 19 years old and have had JRA for about 3 years or so now. I take quite a few different medications with all kinds of side effects that I have started to notice increase greatly over the years. One being that I just feel different. I don't know if it's the medicine or just the fact that it brings me down having a condition so severe at such a young age. Was just wondering if anybody else felt the same way???

Hello,

I'm sure others will be responding when they have a chance to look in here (though I expect things to get even quieter over the long weekend) but, in the meantime, I wanted to welcome you here.

I'm sure you're not alone with feeling as you do.
