Rheumatoid Arthritis and IBS

Some might think that Rheumatoid Arthritis is something older people get. But no, it's not just for elders for adults. Teens also can get it as well. Called juvenile rheumatoid arthritis.((A.K.A JRA))
Reason for my bringing this up is because my shoulders hurt almost all the time. As well as my caffs.((Sometimes my leg))
It's been brought to my attention that I myself, might have JRA.
I'm going to post up some links about and on JRA for you all to read.

I know how the pain feels for me.
Painful, like I pulled a muscle. And it's odd b.c I'll be asleep when my {supposedly} JRA wakes me up in pain. Not only does it wake me up from my sleep but also interferes with my daily life.
Partying, dancing, standing, sitting.
Or just simply walking.Sometimes it's so bad for me I can hardly walk. Which makes me feel horrible b.c I am only a 15yr-old teenage girl who has her WHOLE life ahead of her. Too young to have to deal with this stuff but sadly I do. And so do other teens with JRA. JRA is not something nice and I would never want this. But apparently it's something I {supposedly} have. So if you are a teen with JRA or an adult with RA, do please post in the comments and tell you're story or thoughts on it. I love nothing more then to hear from you guys!
