Guest guest Posted October 15, 2008 Report Share Posted October 15, 2008 Hopefully the methotrexate will help you wife. I've heard on hear that the injections of methotrexate are a lot better then the oral for the side effects. Just the methotrexate alone wasnt enough for me and I am now on Remicade infusions with it. I felt great while I was pregnant, my ob says to just stay pregnant LOL. Yeah right! I feel like the remicade was a miracle for me. It would be great if it would go into remission after a few months but that wasnt the case with me. Good Luck!!! in Michigan From: lakshmanan lakshmanan <letchu_2001@...>Subject: Postpartum RA ?Rheumatoid Arthritis Date: Wednesday, October 15, 2008, 1:48 AM Hello Gilly , Deborah and the team: Thanks for the information. Its seems mostly likely the hormones as my wife never had any complications in the last years and the 1st baby was fine . Suddenly for the 2nd baby she started to feel knee pain in the 1st 2 months of pregnancy and it slowly vanished in the later months. It hid damp hard 4 months after delivery. I am not too sure , will it go into remission after few months , since it happens only due to hormonal changes?? any ideas or hopes??. Hope it does. Now the Doctor had started additionally with 7.5 MTX for the 1st week. I guess he is getting all the the three MTX, Plaquenil and SSZ together in one go with maximum dose. Its only 6 weeks she was diagonsed. But her nausea is very bad for MTX to be taken as oral pills. Anybody have experience of RA after delivery goes to remission in a short time?? or it is a wishful thinking?? But i was reading a mother's website where i was overwhelmed to see about 600 posts with the RA symptoms postpartum but only 2 or 3 recognised it was RA. the rest had no idea why.?? I am sure the awareness of RA post partum is quite low in Asia compared to US . But for biologics, its not widely available in Asia ( note, we are from malaysia ) . have a nice day and enjoy your time. regards LL "MAKE WORLD A BETTER PLACE TO LIVE" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
