Hi my name is Alyssa Webter and I have JDMS. I was diagnosed in June 2008. I was really weak, I couldn't get off the floor very easily and was tired alot. I've been taking Prednisolone for the past 4 months, and it has made me gain weight. I also take Methotrexate every weekend, sometimes it makes me feel sick and sometimes it doesn't. My family helps me and prays for me and the doctors.
I live in Fresno, California with my Mom and Dad, older sister Kaitlynn (12), Ashley (7,my twin sister), Trenton(4), and Neal (1). My favorite color is purple. I love to draw pictures, I've drawn a whole book full of princesses! We have 2 pet turtles named Snowflake and Eragon. When I grow up I want to be an artist. I like to make bracelets and necklaces. I am so happy we found this site because I can finally see other kids who have this too! I hope I can meet someone with JDMS someday soon
