Andilynne Perkins
Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis
Youth Honoree

Andilynne was diagnosed with arthritis at age 2. Shortly after she was diagnosed with Uveitis. This past December 2019 she was diagnosed with graves disease. She was diagnosed very quickly as a young child because of her amazing pediatrician Dr. Sasha Szytel.  Andilynne has the best Doctors. Being so young she tried many medications and we were lucky by the time she was 7 to find Humira. It works so well for her. Andilynne is so brave and so many don’t even know the pain she deals with because she is so strong. We are so blessed that Andilynne is in medical remission. We have been to 4 arthritis conferences and know how bad it can be for children.
