Guest guest Posted December 30, 2004 Report Share Posted December 30, 2004 It was little Gabby and she was on three shots 25mg each. And it increased her liver enzymes. I agree you should check into that. I am an adult and on 50mg and even I am at risk for severe immune suppression. If my adult immune system is at risk, I'm not sure if a six year olds could handle it. I'm not a doctor though, so obviously don't go by what I'm saying. But Gabby did get pretty sick from it.

Guest guest Posted December 31, 2004 Report Share Posted December 31, 2004 Emilie, was right and now that I think about it,it was 3 25mg vials a week.Seems like it was more then just elevated liver enzymes though. I'm glad the rheumy is being very cautious and will be monitoring very carefuly.It's just ever since what happened to Gabby it shows that doctors can make mistakes and sometimes when I hear of something not usealy done or never heard of being done I get nervous.It could be any of our kids and we are all family and just looking out for each other. 's rheumy wouldn't try anything if the benefits didn't outweigh the risks.I hope this gets things under control and things become easier on her poor little joints. Its so sad when someone so young has so many problems.If the JRA isn't enough. HUgs and smiles Becki and 6 systemic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
