Do you know someone who has or had it? Did it disappear with time?

My little brother was diagnosed with JA when he was 10. He is now 32 and it has really effected his life.
His Doctors all told him that he would grow out of it. But it only got worse. He's ONLY 32 has had both of his hips replaced, his foot fused, and goes in to have his knees drained every other month. He has had several bleeding ulcers due to all the medication he is on. He has good days, and bad. Yet considering all he has been through with his Arthritis, he's a goodlookin well rounded guy! Although it's been really hard as a family watching him go through all if this. I wish it wasn't happening - and I would take him from him if I could.
Just be sure that you get all your questions answered, get the right medications and know that this is a serious illness. Taking care of yourself (or loved one) is number 1. Hopefully you (or your loved one) will be one of the lucky ones and grow out of it, or not have effect you as bad as my brother.
Best of Luck to you!

Imagine for a moment your arthritis completely vanishing right now.
If, in a moment, your pain and stiffness melted away. And your joints all of a sudden functioned like a well-oiled machine.
Like a magic wand was waived, you'd be able to jump up from your chair and run around the room like a kid.
And imagine that you'd never have to suffer as much as a pinch of arthritis stiffness or pain ever again.
I know this sounds impossible right now, but bear with me, because sometimes miracles happen.
It was a gift from a woman on the other side of the world. From the kindness of her heart, she took pity on my suffering and taught me how to completely reverse my arthritis.
Today, I want to do the same for you!

I have had arthritis in my knee since I was 10 years old. It only get worse with time, especially in cold weather. Wheat and gluten have nothing to do with it. I think that it is managable, but still it is painful.

I have heard of people having a lot of success eliminating the symptoms by going on a wheat/gluten free diet.
