(First) Remission!

[whatthewhat]

I am pretty excited, lol. Our daughter's rheumy has said she is in remission now, and can start weaning off the Mtx. She'll go back in two months to check on levels, but clearly the Rtx / Mtx has worked for her, and most importantly for a teen girl she has now gotten a huge reinforcement that she can do this thing, she can pursue treatment and get the upper hand. There is still some joint pains, and the neuropathy issues, and of course fatigue, but to know no devilish destruction is taking place within is fabulous Thank you so much for all your encouragement and the way you share your own stories. I have felt like you all are part of our treatment team, and so you share in this success.
