Thank you to the parents and doctors who attended our first-ever SJIA Family Day in Cincinnati, earlier this summer. You each played a major part in the event’s success. Everyone came together to learn, share knowledge and connect. For those who were unable to attend, we have gone through our panel transcripts and put together an informative Q&A that is presented below. If you want the full conference experience, or have questions of your own, head on over to YouTube to watch all the panel videos from the event, it’s possible a question you may have was answered during the event.

‘The Big Sick’ – a Movie about Romance and Still’s Disease
For so long, Systemic JIA or Stills Disease has been in the shadows that we can hardly believe that that there is now a movie about this disease. And its not a small-time documentary, it’s the summer’s sleeper box office hit! “The Big Sick” is a romantic-comedy in which Still’s Disease (the adult version of Systemic JIA) figures prominently. Actor Kumail Nanjiani (from the TV show “Silicon Valley”) co-wrote the movie with his now wife, Emily Gordon about their relationship. Nanjiani also stars in the film, with Zoe Kazan playing Emily.
