My 4yo niece was diagnosed yesterday. Today my sister is reeling with the news and trying to make an informed decision regarding treatment.
Her rheumatologist wants to put Elizabeth on methotrexate but has given Sis and DH a month to research because of the side effects. She's offered no other options if they refuse methotrexate.
Sis can do the research, but I thought if I could put her in touch with someone who is in the trenches of this disease and could offer insight from a parent's POV, maybe it would help.
If you are willing to email with my sister, I'd appreciate a PM. She is a pretty private person, but this task is very daunting, so I think she will be glad of the help.
Thank you!
