Guest guest Posted August 6, 2001 Report Share Posted August 6, 2001 le (Systemic JRA, 1 year diagnosed and treated) is on 25 mg Methotrexate, 200 mg Imuran, 10 mg Prednisone, Plaquenal, and Indomethacin. She was getting worse in May and June, even with these treatments. The doctor opted for 1000 mg Solu-medrol and 40 mg Methotrexate IV treatment once a week. It is greatly improving her pain and energy, but the labs aren't changing. She is decreasing the Prednisone by 1 mg a week to 5 mg. He doesn't take any drugs away, he just keep adding. He wants to start her on Remicade in a couple of weeks and maybe decrease the Solu-medrol over time. I'm looking for comments and concerns on this treatment. I've read stuff on it, but haven't got any personal experiences with anyone. Pam Brockett Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
