Guest guest Posted February 7, 2011 Report Share Posted February 7, 2011 First of all, thank to all that have commented on my post. What a huge help you have been! I prayed Friday afternoon for God to send me " a " mother of a child with JA. By midnight Saturday I had 5 and now more than 15!!! What a blessing! I've called four different peds rheumy's in the area and either no one called me back or they're not taking new patients. I found a peds rheumy about 3 hours from our house that will be seeing us Tuesday, 2/15 at 12:30 pm. Lexi has also started complaining about her hips hurting and no longerr sits " criss cross applesauce " for me. I spoke with her current (should say " previous " - I fired him today) peds rheumy about it this morning and he totally blew me off, saying additional joint involvement at this point is highly unlikely and to " keep an eye on it. " Thank you to for the " junkyard dog " comment - I'm going from kitty to barking Rotweiler!!! Thank you for the comment about the eyes. Thankfully, we already see a pediatric opthamologist for Lexi's brother and she had seen the optho last year because I thought she needed glasses (she walks into walls and trips over her feet). I had her in about a month ago for her JA eye exam and we go back again in July. Everything looks good there, except she always complains of light sensitivity, but its most likely from the MTX because the eye exam was normal.
