I saw a photo of a group of beautiful children with jia taken 35 years ago.
They All had some kind of brace/cast/wheelchair/deformity of some kind.
Same picture, taken at same camp, different kids and only one noticeable wheelchair.

I know that's not ibd but it's still a disease that's been helped by modern drugs.
Are they perfect drugs, no!
But I'll deal with side effects over permanent disability any day,

Thanks mlp.:heart:

We love biologics! 7 years for one kiddo, 6 years for the other and no side effects. My husband will be starting a biologic too soon.
