*My 13 yr old is an old lady that turns purple* My 13 yr old daughter has Mixed Connective Tissue Disease, (Lupus) which means multiple overlapping autoimmune diseases. She has Dermatomyositis, & Juvenile Arthritis. Yup, arthritis. She turns purple when her hands and feet get cold, which can happen from A/C. She was first diagnosed at age 6. My 11 yr old son has Psoriatic Arthritis. All of these are Autoimmune Arthritis. We share so you can learn!

Still sick!
Well, despite the 2 heavy-duty antibiotics that she's on, Emily is still coughing, sneezing and stuffy. On the plus side, her fever is down. Her temp was "normal" today- 98.6F. Of course, her normal is usually around 97.1F. She had her sinuses scanned by CT yesterday, and we have a follow-up appointment with her pediatrician tomorrow. She actually wants to go to school tomorrow. I have no reason to keep her home if she wants to go, but I am worried that she hasn't kicked this thing. I made her use our nebulizer a little while ago. She said that it did help " a little bit", but not significantly. I don't really know what to think. I am hopeful that our pedi will have some answers tomorrow.
