On Sept. 2, our youngest of eight children, son Kevin,turned 21 years old. It doesn't seem possible that he's that old already. I'm going to share the column our daughter Elizabeth wrote for me after Kevin's birth: “I'm 11 years old. I told mom I would write for her this week as she's very busy taking care of my new baby brother. Baby Kevin was born September 2 at 7:27 a.m. (2005). He weighed 8 lbs 4 oz and was 21 inches long.

DEAR DR. ROACH: I was really interested in reading your recent columns on rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and other inflammatory arthritic conditions. I’ve taken most medications that you mentioned in your column. However, there’s a product called PS372424 that’s been in research since 2014, yet no medical rheumatology departments have even involved patients in taking it.
