Patti, I will pray for your daughter that God will touch her joints and take away the horrible disease and pain. I, too, have arthritis in my fingers (from overuse over the years) so bad that I can't bend them when I wake up in the mornings. Then, if I don't move them frequently during the day, I can't bend them and the pain is unbearable. I feel for your daughter. She is just too young to have to cope with this. I think sometimes sickness can come on so slowly sometimes that we just learn to adjust and learn to cope with it, although it is still a nuisance.
