AJAO conference, and rash question

[Guest guest]

Hey everyone!

Since we live in ATL, I just assumed that we would definately be

going to the conference. Unfortunately, my husnad can't seem to

take the days off work, and can't see us taking the kids there to be

there ALL DAY for 3 days. (That is a lot, with no naps and late

nights = NIGHTMARE!) I am heartbroken, because I thought we would

really benefit from this conference. I think Kylie's Rheumy is

doing a presentation, too! Are you all planning on being at the

conference the entire time? Or can we just go to a few of the

meetings/events.

Now for the rash, Kylie has been on Naproxen since mid-March. I

noticed that she had this rash only on her elbows after spending a

lot of time at the pool this past weekend. I cover her in sunscreen

and reapply hourly, am I supposed to keep her out of the sun on the

naproxen? no one has said anything, but I spoke to the nurse at

Emory (rheumy) and was told that she is supposed to be taking her

zantac 30 mins before the naproxen- I never knew that! I am

wondering what else I should know!!!

That's it- and thanks for the responses, I am just sticking with

starting the MTX once we get back from the beach on the 18th.
