Juvenile idiopathic arthritis affects 1 in 1000 children in the UK. It is an autoimmune disease, in which the immune system attacks the body. The author, child and family health researcher, explains that unless the disease is properly controlled, young people live with pain, stiffness, poor energy levels and life-long disability.
