Guest guest Posted December 7, 2006 Report Share Posted December 7, 2006 Hello everyone, I just wanted to take a minute to say hello. I haven't been visiting very often because has been doing so well, and I've gotten busy with other things. I want you all to know that I am still keeping everyone in my thoughts, even if I'm not around much. went to see Dr. Mason yesterday and he has declared him to be in a remission!! He's been off the mtx for six months now without any relapse. We are going to take him off his NSAID now as well. We should know within a week or two how he will respond to the removal of his last medication. Please keep you fingers crossed. Our Rheumy says he has a 90% chance staying in remission. Of course, we are hoping that he really has outgrown it, but we realise that there is still a chance that he'll relapse at some point. I know that some kids do go into a remission during puberty and he is almost at that age.... I suppose all we can do is hope for the best and enjoy it for as long as it lasts. Hugs to everyone! Blessings, & (12 - poly - in remission!)
