Guest guest Posted January 13, 2006 Report Posted January 13, 2006 Sophie, Thanks for the kind words. also got healthy last spring once school was out.The only time he seen a Dr. was for a thumb x-ray from playing baseball.As soon as school started back up the infections began again.ugh and to top it off right before Christmas break the school sent me an attendance letter and this whole No Child Left Behind Crap about how they had to have a 90% attendendance record. I had to write a detailed letter about his disease and his meds which is all crap because he has IDEA and is protected by their laws. Sorry to vent but even my hubby doesn't get it.

Guest guest Posted January 13, 2006 Report Posted January 13, 2006 Your message really touched me. is also on Enbrel and last winter, she had chronic sinus infections. All winter long, she was on antibiotic after antibiotic. Nothing cleared it up until Spring came along. She was on antibiotics from October through May. I got so overwhelmed just giving her the meds she was prescribed. AT one point she was taking a prescription decongestant, claritin, prescription cough med, antibiotic, Naprosyn, MTX, Enbrel and folic acid. I kept thinking to myself that pumping her full of drugs probably is harming her. It was really depressing and overwhelming. Know that you are not alone in this. I get really consumed by the disease. It affects my concentration at work, ability to parent my other kids, my marriage, etc. I hope you feel better soon. Take care of yourself! Sophie Quote
