What are the difficulties of living with SJIA ?
The challenges of living with SJIA are many, and not simply physical.

In this video, Dr. Eugen Feist, a rheumatologist at the Charité University Hospital in Berlin, explains the effect that disease management and contact with patient advocacy groups (PAGs) can have on the life of a child and their family affected by SJIA.
