She has had joint problems and aches since she was tiny but bloods always show nothing up to now, she has a schobers sign of 12.5cm according to the physio report who triaged us b4 we got the rheumatology appt. I would say its got worse since then, she now has rib pain too, it seems to spreading really fast, the more I read the more I worry, and dont like the sound of the medications to halt progression of disease due to the affect on the immune system as she has already had numerous pneumonia episodes
