DS has done very well on 6mp for the last 4 years. At his GI appointment yesterday the Dr. said he wants to switch him to Methotrexate. The GI had a male patient last fall come down with a bad case of mono and then was diagnosed with Leukemia. Johnny was tested in fall of 2013 for any EBV antibodies to see if he has ever had mono and he has not, but because he is starting high school next year (mono is more common in high school) and is a young male, the GI is not comfortable with him continuing on 6mp. So for some reason he will wait till fall, scope him again, and then start Methotrexate.
Johnny's fecal cal has also started to creep up and is at 110 now. GI is not super concerned but doesn't like the upward trend.
I don't deal well with change Anyone switched from 6mp to methotrexate while 6mp was working?
Any advice on pill or injection?
