Hi everyone,

I am looking for help understanding the early signs of Still's disease. I have heard that it is a rare form of inflammatory arthritis, but I'm not sure what the symptoms are. Does anyone here have any knowledge or experience with Still's disease? Any information or advice would be greatly appreciated.

Early Signs of Still's Disease

Still's disease is a rare inflammatory condition that can affect people of any age group. It is most commonly seen in adolescents and young adults. The early signs of Still's disease are often overlooked, as they are often similar to other more common conditions. Recognizing the signs and symptoms of Still's disease early on is important for seeking proper treatment.

Fever is the most common symptom of Still's disease. It is usually a high and persistent fever, however it may fluctuate from day to day. The fever typically peaks in the late afternoon or evening.

Joint Pain is another common sign of Still's disease. This pain is usually symmetrical, meaning it affects the same joints on both sides of the body. It may also affect the ankles, wrists, and neck. It can also cause swelling and stiffness in the affected joints.

Rash is another sign of Still's disease. This rash is usually salmon-pink in color and is most commonly seen on the trunk, arms, and legs. It may also appear on the face and may be itchy.

Enlarged Lymph Nodes may be present in people with Still's disease. This is usually felt as a lump in the neck, groin, or armpits.

Fatigue is another common symptom of Still's disease. This fatigue can be severe and may be accompanied by malaise and depression.

Weight Loss is another symptom of Still's disease. This may be accompanied by a loss of appetite.

Early diagnosis and treatment of Still's disease is important for preventing complications and long-term health problems. If you have any of the above symptoms, it is important to consult your doctor for proper diagnosis and treatment.

The early signs of Still's disease, also known as systemic juvenile idiopathic arthritis (SJIA), are often non-specific and can vary in severity. Symptoms may include joint pain and swelling, especially in the knees, elbows, and ankles, as well as fever that lasts for more than three days and is accompanied by a characteristic salmon-pink rash. Other early signs may include fatigue, loss of appetite, and weight loss.

Joint pain and swelling is typically the first symptom of Still's disease. It is often accompanied by a low-grade fever, which may come and go for a period of weeks or even months. The joint pain can be quite severe and can limit range of motion, making it difficult to move the affected joint. Swelling is usually visible and is most noticeable around the joints.

The characteristic salmon-pink rash of Still's disease may develop soon after the fever and can last for several days. The rash may be accompanied by itching and is often worse at night or after exercise.

Other early signs of Still's disease include fatigue, loss of appetite, and weight loss. These symptoms can be subtle and may be difficult to distinguish from the normal fatigue and appetite changes associated with childhood growth and development. If any of these symptoms persist, it is important to seek medical evaluation.

Early diagnosis and treatment of Still's disease is important to prevent long-term damage to the joints. If you or your child is experiencing any of these signs or symptoms, it is important to speak to your doctor for further evaluation.

The early signs of Still's disease are often vague and nonspecific, making it difficult to diagnose. Common signs include fatigue, aching joints, and a salmon-pink rash that typically appears in the evening. Other symptoms can include fever, swollen lymph nodes, and an enlarged liver or spleen. Less common signs may include chest pain, a sore throat, and anemia. It is important to note that these symptoms can be caused by many other conditions, so it is important to see a doctor for a proper diagnosis.

The early signs of Still's disease can vary in severity, but the most common signs tend to include fever, rash, joint pain and swelling, and fatigue. Other possible symptoms include sore throat, enlarged lymph nodes, headache, and weight loss. It is important to note that not everyone will experience all of these symptoms, and in some cases, the symptoms may come and go.
