Messageboard/support group that I have found to be the BEST line of support and information.  There are many other JRA mom's that post here.   I hope you will join us!
JRA World has combined forces with Arthritis Insight to develop a very comprehensive website.  This is one of my favorites.
The Arthritis Foundation has tons of information on JRA and other diseases related to arthritis in children and adults.
Directory for finding a Pediatric Rheumatologist in your area.  I cannot stress how important it is to have your child seen by a PEDIATRIC RHEUMATOLOGIST vs an adult rheumatologist.
The American Juvenile Arthritis Organization (AJAO) Information page.
Another comprehensive website pertaining to JRA and related diseases from the Pediatric Rheumatology Site.
Here is the website for Canada's Arthritis Society.
Disease information for arthritis related illnesses provided by the Arthritis Foundation.  Listed alphabetically.  Very comprehensive.
Medication information for arthritis related drugs.  The Drug Guide provided by the Arthritis Foundation is excellent.
The Surgery Center page provided by the Arthritis Foundation covers many of the surgeries and procedures that may be needed for JRA patients.
Tests and Labs.  The tests and labs page from JRA World & Arthritis Insight is the best I have found for this information.
Uveitis information from the Massachusetts Eye & Ear Infirmary.  An excellent site with very extensive information.
Exercise is very important to keep the joints and muscles strong and limber.  The exercise page provided by JRA World & Arthritis Insight is a great start for information.  Always check with your Dr. before doing any type of exercise.
