Welcome to my blog!

First of all I'd like to welcome everyone to my blog! In this blog I'm going to tell you all what it's like growing up with juvenile idiopathic arthritis or JIA for short. Just looking at me you wouldn't be able to tell I'm chronically ill so it's hard for a lot of people to actually believe me when I tell them I'm not feeling well. When I tell someone that I have arthritis their first reaction is to be like "I thought only old people got that?" and I have to explain that people of all ages have arthritis although the kind I, along with thousands of other children have is not you're typical grandma's arthritis. The point of this blog is to educate people about the disease and give other teens who have arthritis someone to relate to.
