Guest guest Posted October 25, 2001 Report Share Posted October 25, 2001 Hi Chellie, My son was 6 when he was diagnosed with systemic JRA. Josh is 12, now. Since we live in Hawaii we don't visit the same hospital but I just wanted to say hello and welcome you to our group. My son has also never used Vioxx, so I can't be too much help with that. Josh takes prednisone, indomethacin, plaquinel, methotrexate, cytotec, and miacalcin. Poor little guy. If you don't mind me asking, how did Tyler break his nose? My gosh. That must have been a real shock! Take care, Georgina chellieae@... wrote: > > Hello. My name is Chellie and my son Tyler 5 was recently diagnosed > with Jra.
