I composed this e-mail to Dr. H at Children's today.
I wanted to update you on how Bean is doing at see what her results were from her bloodwork from the last visit - what did her numbers look like?
We saw you on Thursday, October 22nd - up until that day she was taking:
25mg of prednisone x1 per day
250 mg of naproxen x2 per day
15 mg of prevacid x1 per day
Bean had her first dose of methotrexate on Friday, October 23rd - she had no reactions that we could tell.
we stopped the naproxen as a trial.
For the past week she has been on -
10mg of methotrexate x1 per week
25mg of prednisone x1 per day
15 mg of prevacid x1 per day
1mg Folic Acid - x1 per day
Bean had her second does eof methotrexate on Friday, October 30th - she had no reactions that we could tell.
However - today, November 1st, she was quite lethargic and tired, she complained of pain in her legs then back and head. Do you think these are these side effects of any of the medication she is on?
I think tomorrow we will start back with the naproxen x2 per day and see how she does. But I was concerned with the pain symptoms she is having.
Also- she has been having trouble sleeping. I think she has only slept through the night 3 times in the past two weeks. Could that be a side effect of the medication?
Thanks for all you help and support,
L & J
