is still dealing with flare in her knee and fingers.  The gastro was

convinced it was colitis related, but her flare seems to have gotten worse since

her Remicade treatment, which was 10/29.  She did finally get in to see her

rheumy for the first time in quite a while and he is confident the flare will

settle down with the continued Remicade.  My thinking is....she's on the highest

dose for her age now...why isn't it????

 

To top it off, this weekend her eyes were bothering her and her right eye all of

the sudden looked really red.  I luckily got her into her pedi opthalmologist

and he did the exam, dilating her eyes and everything....and says she's got some

major inflammation in her right iris....iritis!  Now it's steroid eye drops 6x a

day until Friday when we go back to see him again.  I just wish I knew what the

heck was going on.  It seems strange to me that this all happened shortly after

her Remi infusion...anyone have any ideas or experiences with this? 

 

Thanks,

Kathy
