Ok so we go to my daughters Pediatrician bcse of the coughing. I explained what she was taking 10mg of prednisone and the MTX . Dr. wants her to take 40 milligrams of Prednisone for 5days and antibiotic. I don't know if this is a good idea from 10 to 40 then back to 10 in five days. Please advise If she should do that. I called her rheumy and he thinks its fine. Next week is her eye Dr's app. and I don't want this dosage to mask whats happening.
Here comes the crazy Drs. Part!!
Pedi. told me she should stop the MTX and take anti-inflammatory supplements like garlic etc. She kept insisting that MTX was so bad for the liver etc. She has always been conservative but this was crazy!!!! I didn't want to argue with her because my daughter was there and I didn't want to get into how people in the past would (the d word) without meds for remision. This is the same doctor that wants Christina to take the 40 mgs of pred. that why im not trusting her judgement right now.
