my youngest daughter has Lupus or Juvenile Dermatomyositis

Tweet

my youngest daughter has been through the mill while doctors are trying to diagnose her with an autoimmune disease. she has either Lupus (SLE) or Juvenile Dermatomyositis (JDM) or both which is then called mixed connective tissue disorder (MCTD). she is in constant pain and it breaks my heart to think that she is suffering from a chronic condition. do you know anyone who has suffered from an autoimmune disease and can you give me any ideas on how to ease her pain. she is only 2 year of age. nevermind the fact that it is rare to begin with but for a 2 year old to show symptoms of an autoimmune disease is almost unheard of!
