Guest guest Posted May 27, 2006 Report Share Posted May 27, 2006 Hi everyone, just wanted a few opinions from your experiences. Our daughter has been on prelone and mtx for 2 months now, and her swelling is better, her walking is better, her standing up is better, so most everything physically is better. (Except maybe some jaw swelling, only I can't tell if it's that or the puffiness from the prelone!) My question is why doesn't her sed rate continue to come down also? Do your drs. tell you your children's lab results? Is it wrong to expect the sed rate to come down this soon? Does it ever come down? Does a high sed rate mean there is damage going on? How do you know if the inflammation isn't affecting organs? (Our daughter had an echo done the first visit and was ok.) I'm just a bit confused (and obviously logically minded) about the whole thing. I've heard that there can be swelling without an elevated sed rate, but can it be the opposite? Thanks for your help-oh one more question, what other options are there out there for meds for a 1 year old other than mtx? Thanks again, Tracey mom to Madi 14mo systemic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
