Guest guest Posted November 17, 2004 Report Share Posted November 17, 2004 Hello Melt, When you say remission - no ongoing damage ... Arn't I correct in saying if the white blood count is within normal range, and the inflammatory marker is there or there abouts normal, but I'm not actually in remission .. then there probably isnt any damage going on .. as isnt it the white blood cells that create the damage to the lining of the joints. Steve -----Original Message-----From: Melt Sent: 17 November 2004 18:48To: Stillsdisease Subject: Remission Yes Rob, in remission means no ongoing damage at this time. I do still have problems at times with the damage of the years that has already happened but no active fevers, swelling or overall symptoms. My labs are good and that is a big factor. I think your fatigue may be both because there have been times when I had great fatigue even long after the Prednisone was stopped. It seems many have it and that it goes with the disease I believe. Many hopes for early remission for all, love Melt ----- Original Message ----- From: Rob Linger Ok Melt, your stills is in remission, what about your RA? Is that in remission also because the stills is in remission, or ary they 2 seperate things? Also, Almost every time I reduce my pred. dosage (per my RD), the next day or two I experience fatague, is this due to the stills or due to the reduced prednisoneVisit the Still's Disease Message Boardhttp://disc.server.com/Indices/148599.htmlThe materials and information contained in this message are not intended to replace the services of a trained health professional or to be a substitute for medical advice of physicians and/or other health care professionals.

Guest guest Posted November 17, 2004 Report Share Posted November 17, 2004 I'm a little confused but my white count is within normal limits. Sed rate, and some others. No ongoing damage as in no current inflammation and yes, I believe that the white blood cells are what the fluid is and what causes the joint damage. Hope my mail was not confusing as well, lol.
