Question about Kineret/Methotrexate

[Guest guest]

Since my discussion here with about weaning 's Methotrexate I am now

curious. Do any parents here have experience with their children being on both

Kineret and Methotrexate? With my daughter the Kineret seems to be " doing the

trick " but while we've been weaning the MTX we've seen very occasional symptoms.

We are down to .6ml MTX and set to reduce further this week. The Rheumy's plan

is to wean the MTX and increase the Kineret if needed. is currently on a

very low dose of Kineret - .11ml, less than her weight dosing. So we do have

some room to go to increase Kineret. Let me know what you think.

Thanks, nn (mom to , 9, systemic)
