Update on

[Guest guest]

Hi Everybody,

Just wanted to update you on . She went to the Rheumy on

Wed. Everything is really looking good. It is one year since her

systemic jra came back, and after months of waiting for things to

look better, it seems they finally are.

Her Sed rate is down to 25! (That is so much better than the 126

it was over the summer.) The doctor looked at her knee and said it

does not need to be injected after all. She said it looked great.

I even decreased her Indocin to one pill one day, two pills the

next. She was on two 25mgs. a day. I will alternate days for a month

and see how it goes. Then hopefully one pill a day till her sed rate

comes down a little more.

The doctor really thinks the Methotrexate is doing its job. She

takes 22.5mgs a week by injection. Do any of your kids take that high

of dose? It seems like when I read the posts nobody is higher than

15mgs.

Well I just wanted to let eveyone know how happy I am. I cant wait

for school to start again, we dont go back till Tuesday.

does have a big cold sore on her lip. The doctor prescibed an

ointment for it, but it doesnt seem to be working. She has a little

cough and runny nose, I hope this cold doesnt make her flare

again.She has not had a cold in a year. Thanks for listening and
