CONGRATULATIONS! You are so lucky not to have had any pain since you stopped

the MTX. I am also off MTX and waiting to be medicine free in order to start

trying to conceive, and I've had a terrible time. Please keep me updated

about your pregnancy - I've heard people can be in remission during

pregnancy.

Congratulations again.

We've just found out we're expecting in September 2001!

I took my last dose of MTX in August. My RD had me wean myself down from

17.5 mg injections, 2.5 mg every other week, until I was completely off MTX.

Then we had to wait 90 days before attempting to conceive. We were very

fortunate and blessed to conceive quickly. I haven't had any pain or

swelling to speak of since I stopped MTX, and we're hoping for a healthy

pregnancy.

HOORAY!

Patty,

Congratulations on your pregnancy. My husband and I have been trying

since June with no luck. So we are going to stop for a while and I

am going to try to get approved by my insurance for weight loss

surgery. After the surgery I have to wait 18 months and then we can

try again. Good luck and many blessings for you and your family!

Wow! These are not small accomplishments, very nice. Sometimes the improvement

in digestion is not one thing, is just a culmination of all the various things

that finally get the system working better.

How could they not love him at school? Look at his mom!

[ ] some happy news

Hi all

Just wanted to give a micro-update on my son. He is back in his

special needs class - full time, this year - and doing very well so

far. It helps that the school bus, his favourite mode of

transportion ever, is coming to get him now. Bus, two times a day -

happy boy. Everyone seems delighted to have him back, I think he's

quite a star at school. :-)

Another nice thing is that for the past few weeks we have had regular

formed poops daily and flat tummy!! I have *no idea why, which is

driving me crazy. Having finally posted about this I expect it to

end abruptly. :-)

He has developed a fascination with dogs and now plays a game

called " It's a Doggie " . He comes up to me and says " it's a doggie " ,

at which time I am expected to start barking, snuffling and licking

his face (the kid with sensory issues!).

He has also suddenly noticed that we have cats, and for the last few

days has been very gently stroking the most playful one, examining

her whiskers, even hugging her once. Once he said " cat " .

He looks at us with such love and sparkly eyes. We get lots of hugs

and kisses. Better than prozac, wouldn't you say?

Thanks for letting me share.
