It's been a while....needless to say that my sister in law is sick again.
She's looking like she's got Meningitis again.  We'll know more in a couple
of days.  They did the spinal tap today (at least this time they did it
before they started treating her with antibiotics..so now they might be able
to come up with a solid diagnosis).  But, I've got a question.  We went to
see her lupus/rheumy specialist a couple of days ago, before she got sick
again.  She asked about this new drug (Meth).  I was wondering if anyone has
an opinion about it vs. the ever popular prednisone.  Or even if it's as
effective.  She hasn't seen her family doc yet, so she's not taking it yet,
but with her in the hospital, I'm really interested in finding out what is
best for her.  Her immune system is crap.  I don't want her doing anything
that's going to make her worst.  Thanks for your advice...I appreciate all
of your help...you guys helped a lot the last time.  It's nice to know there
are people around who can understand my confusion and frustration.
