Boy sounds like you lucked out. I am so glad for you. I am on

Imuran in addition to Remicade. I had been on Methotrexate with the

Remicade until I got Interstitial Lung Disease (aka Pulmonary

Fibrosis). That was after I had been off everything except

prednisone for 3 months. Methotrexate can cause ILD/PF and Imuran is

the next best standard drug for my form of ILD/PF. The jury is still

out in mind if the Imuran is helping the Stills symptoms or not. I

keep coming down with other junk that pulls me off the drugs for a

period of time.

Let us know how you fare with the Imuran.

I am wondering about how the sex of the rheumy relates to

their " ability/desire " to listen and work with us.

Tom, an aunt and two uncles (on my mom's side of the family) had interstatial

lung disease. I'm curious...is this something that is typical for persons with

Stills???

Uncle Fuzzy is about the most uncommon and unusual Stills groupie here...

thank heavens. He collects illnesses, diseases, and misfortunes like hockey

cards. When I first read about some of what he's gone through, I wanted

to run away screaming... now I just want to write a book about him.
