Guest guest Posted December 14, 2001 Report Share Posted December 14, 2001 I had to the doctor yesterday. With much reluctance, I've agreed to start her on MTX. It's hard to believe just a few months ago, was 100% fine. It almost seemed like this disease was just a bad dream she'd gone so long with no symptoms. But when it came back, it came back so much worse. She's been on a downhill spiral. I knew it could happen, and even semi-expected it, but it's still mind boggling how quickly things can change. Anyway, I'm taking her for labs today and will start her on the MTX this weekend. We'll also increase her dose of Relafen. The plan is to move her quickly to Enbrel if she doesn't respond. Prior to 's remission, we'd considered this course of treatment and I got lots of input from everybody here. I heard good and bad about these drugs, but mostly good. I know MTX is used safely by lots of your kids. Still, irrational though it is, I feel like I'm about to put poison in her body. I didn't sleep a wink last night. I know many of you know what I'm talking about. I'll keep you posted. I hate this disease!!! Diane (, 2, pauci) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
