Suzanne medications

[Guest guest]

Lee & ,

The medication she is on is a liquid medication called Gastrocrom. It is an oral

concentrate that she mixes with water four times a day - she says it's tasteless

(thank goodness!).

I have hesitated to say anything about it, still waiting for the axe to drop,

but I think we may have found the missing link. We are now going to start

spacing the Remicade treatments out further in an effort to start weaning her

off of those treatments. It has always been questionable as to whether the

Remicade had any effect, so this is a logical (and welcomed) next step.

She looks great - her spirits are so high. It's like I got my little girl back.

Okay, she's not little - she's 17, but will always be my little girl!

Dear LInda,

This is just great news! I was so happy to see it.

All my best to you guys, Suzanne deserves a break and so do you.

What medication is she on that would treat an allergy scenario?

Antihistamines?
