This raises an interesting question--are the joint pains that DS frequently complains about caused by rheumatoid arthritis type reactions?

My son has had horrible pain in his arm. Diminished over the years but it comes and goes.

Our ds10 is always complaining about joint pain and also rubs the back of his neck quite often!
