"That was the beginning of all of it". For several months, the people agonized over whether Emily's ankle was sprained or broken, but then other joints started swelling.
Her stomach finger on one hand swelled to the point that her older brothers teased her about flipping them off. Emily underwent a series of bone scans and blood tests to aspect for leukemia, bone infection or bone cancer - "fun fabric like that. Once all of that was ruled out, the folks at the facility said, 'We think she needs to see a rheumatologist'".

Her set received the diagnosis just before her third birthday. "For us, the diagnosis was a relief," Smith recalled. "We didn't to some understand we were in this for the long haul.

The dream changes from the hope that one day this will all be gone and you can forget about it, to hoping that she is able to breathe a full and productive life doing all of the things she wants to do". Emily has taken arthritis medication ever since the diagnosis. "The one effort to get her off meds was disastrous," Smith said of the effort about a month before Emily's seventh birthday. "It lasted three weeks. We had these three wonderful, medication-free weeks, and then she woke up one matinal and couldn't get out of bed on her own.
And then it got worse. It got a lot worse before it got better. It took a stronger medication cocktail and several years for her to get where she is today". Emily currently takes a confederation of the gold-standard arthritis panacea methotrexate, a newer biologic upper (Orencia) and a medicine non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug.
And "She's been fairly lucky," her mother said. "She's done cute well for the last few years, in terms of not having any side effects". And Emily has not let arthritis hinder her passions, her mother added. "She has been able to try everything she's wanted to do".
