Guest guest Posted November 7, 2008 Report Share Posted November 7, 2008 , I wanted to comment on your idea of gathering a list of meds we're all on and rating them. It would be interesting to see it, but probably not very helpful to your son. The weirdest thing about Stills is how it affects everyone so differently, and how there is no one 'solution' to our symptoms. For example, while someone might sing the praises of MTX, there would be someone else who couldn't tolerate it at all. And while some of us have been on something like prednisone for ages and seem to suffer no joint damage, I've heard of others who go on it only a short time to find they need a hip replaced. You may have heard people mentioning how it takes a while to get the right 'cocktail' that eases the symptoms while avoiding nasty side effects. It does feel to me like my doctors have to invent a 'recipe' for me! It might help though with seeing what the options are... if you gather a list, I'd love to see it.

Guest guest Posted November 8, 2008 Report Share Posted November 8, 2008 It's Exelent idea !! I hope it alloed by the group. We need to help stablish WHAT we could possible all have as a common thread. I have Fibromyalgia & I'm amazed by all the other that have been diagnosed BEFORE or after Stills wt. F.M. I also take MTX> but I CAN " T get on the " new " biological injectables because I had TB as a pre teen, so the RD is afraid to go there. I'd be intrerested to konw if anu body else out here has had the same or similar problem. I've been put on one of the oldest pills for RA. & don't think is help so far. May be it could need more time... . I trully hope we can organised something like that on the group, we have somoe very talented people on the group. Tom could help a lot on the scientific points of view! I had another episode after 3 mos. & very ,very discourage.
