    What other parents do when you see the signs of a flare coming on?

    My daughter has been on remicade for almost a year now. She started zertec about 2 months ago. The Dr. just prescribed Cyproheptadine, anyone else try this?

    What other parents do when you see the signs of a flare coming on?

    My daughter was diagnosed 2 years ago. We did steriods first, Methotrexate for a year (it wasn't working anymore), and now finally remicade. I have found in the last 2 years that at the end of every summer when her allergies are bad, she will begin a flare. I am just curious what other parents...

    Skin cracks in the private areas

    Thanks for your reply, I have been at a lost on what to do to help her. We tried prep H, but it hasn't helped. Do you apply once a day or more? How long before you have found it improves or goes away? This is my first time on this forum and posting. Was so nice to see a thread for parents of...

    Skin cracks in the private areas

    My daughter is 10 yrs old and was diagnosed at 8. She struggles with what I describe as skin cracks or fissures, but not in the typical area. She has one on her bottom area, but more in the crack area and then one in the front. Is there anything we can do to make these go away and prevent? She...
