Guest guest Posted December 29, 2004 Report Share Posted December 29, 2004 Alia, has been on both methotrexate and Enbrel and never had a rash from either of them. Is Caroline still on an antibiotic? If so, that could also be the culprit. Have you spoken to her pediatrician about this? How's she doing these days? Liz Re-start Enbrel Hey everyone... We restarted Caroline Methotrexate and Enbrel this week after a three week break. She now has a faint rash on her butt, ankles, and leg. Has anyone else experienced this?? She also got bit by some Fire Ants this week, but I really don't think they are related... She is also on 3 ml of Prednisone. Hope all is well. I haven't had much time to access the board, but I hope to catch up with everyone soon. Alia and Caroline, age 2, poly and uveitis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 29, 2004 Report Share Posted December 29, 2004 Hi Alia, How has Caroline been doing since the surgery for tubes? I sure hope that the dynamic trio of mtx, enbrel and pred does the trick!-- Those pesky fire ants. I remember when we lived in Louisiana and my son sat in a whole hill of fire ants. He was only two and it took me a while to reach him. About scared me to death. Aundrea has always responded to any bug bite (mosquito, fire ant, etc) with large welts. Seems like Caroline's rash would more likely be due to the jra though than the bug bites. God Bless, (drea 9 systemic) - In , " Alia Pranke " <Alia.Pranke@t...> wrote: > > Hey everyone...

Guest guest Posted December 29, 2004 Report Share Posted December 29, 2004 -Hi Alia.. Good luck with restarting Carolines MTX and enbrel.. i hope all goes well and no more sign of any pesky infections. Not sure about the rash, perhaps some kind of contact dermatitis from FL, different laundry power perhaps... Are you guys home from FL. How are you feeling, the knee??? the baby???? Thansk for your concern about the MTX, thankfully I found 5 more vials so we have enough for 3 months now. Can you believe I got it at Cub Foods of all places!!!

Guest guest Posted December 31, 2004 Report Share Posted December 31, 2004 Thanks Helen. Her rash is starting to clear up, but not the blisters. We are hoping it was a fluke. We don't get back until next week. We are heading to Disney tomorrow. I am sure Caroline is going to have a blast! I am glad that you found the MTX. What a fiasco! At least you know the hospital always has it if you need it. Alia and Caroline, age 2, poly and uveitis > > > > Hey everyone...
