Good news: Minifob's back on steroids. Sure sure, not sustainable long-term, side effects, yadda yadda yadda... but in this moment, I am happy my kid is in less pain.
Bad news: In addition to his guts feeling great, he is reporting that his chronic leg pain is much better too. This means that it is probably not a side effect of earlier steroid use, as we were previously hoping (because that would mean it would probably go away in time,) but rather a mild form of rheumatoid arthritis. We haven't bothered to get it blood tested yet because 1.) it's low on the scale of his problems, and 2.) he's already on all the same drugs they'd put him on to treat it anyway, so it's not really worth the blood draw.
