---Possibly seeing effects of MTX

May 8, 2006

Hi, !

I sure appreciate your comments about the effects of MTX. We too seem to be

experiencing something like your Christian is experiencing. 's

appetite was lousy the day after the MTX and is picking up today...could also

be the

steroid, as we've had to put her back on it(last time she was on the

steroid, she was taking food from her classmates' trays and eating it in

addition to

her own lunch!!!!---although we don't encourage this type of behavior, I

giggled because she has such a tiny little appetite normally). When I read

that

he only ate 1/2 his waffle and it took him 45 minutes, I felt like someone

was going through the same thing we are and knows just what it is like. I " m

sorry for you and Christian, though, that he is going through all of it.

THANKS FOR THE INFO ON THE WINTERGREEN OIL. I love the idea that you

suggested. Is Wintergreen oil known for helping inflammation? We're going to

check into it.

Thanks again, and best wishes to you and Christian on this journey.

Beth
