Guest guest Posted March 11, 2010 Report Share Posted March 11, 2010 In Michigan we are praying for you and your family! It is so sad that medical treatment can be available to our children, but because of a price tag, they STILL have to suffer with the pain!

His SED rate is through the roof, his blood sugar is rising, and his iron is so low they're considering a transfusion. His rheumy (whom we love) is bringing in a whole team of specialists because the methotrexate either isn't working or we don't have enough time to wait for it to kick in. Time for new meds and stronger treatments. We're hoping this might convince the insurance company to allow whatever meds the rheum recommends and not to dink around with the less expensive stuff because we can't wait. We're getting great treatment, and I do feel like this may a shocking yet useful episode so we can get on with treatments. it's just so hard to see him getting stuck with needles dozens of times a day knowing there's only more to come....
