Imogen seems to have an issue with her left hand. The whole palm is swollen and there is redness under all the knuckle joints. I'm really hoping this isn't another flare! Although all the signs have been there this week :(
At least we see the Rheumatology Doctor on Tuesday up at Great Ormond Street! We should hopefully get some ideas on how to manage her pain and also we'll have a better idea of how to treat it.
We have a busy week next week! GOSH Tuesday, local hospital Wednesday for blood tests and also Friday for eye test. I'm scared stiff about the eye test! They will be looking to see whether Imogen has Uvetis. Sadly it's one of the many sides from the JIA. It can cause blindness if left untreated.
I have attached a link to a website that gives a lot of information about uvetis and treatments etc for anyone who wants to look.
