[JRA]: hold MTX??? and swelling

[Guest guest]

I saw 's post regarding Elaney this morning, and are we supposed to hold the MTX when they are sick? is in the first stages of an upper and loweer respiratory virus that has been making its way through the family (I had it several weeks ago, still have congestion, zero energy, crash after dinner...which is why I am sorely behind on e-mails) - should she not have her MTX? I was not told much...Also, I had questioned if elevation could affect her swelling, but her fingers and elbow are just as swollen a week later, and now her wrist is acting up...it has only been 5 wks on the MTX. She has been hurting a lot since last week...when do you let the dr know, and when do you wait (i.e. since she is on the mtx now)?As always, thank you in advance for your input - someone here almost always has an answer! (btw - the "rash" I posted about on 's arm has her ped stumped, and we are waiting for dermatology appt late
