Guest guest Posted May 12, 2003 Report Share Posted May 12, 2003 I had tried to post this awhile ago but it didn't go through. I'm 26 years old and newly diagnosed with RA. I have much milder symptoms than most of you in the group. But am mostly affected in my wrists and hands, some knees. I was taking Sulfazine and Dicoflenac. It was helping along with a cortisone shot in one wrist. However, I went to my OB/GYN and discussed pregnancy. She said that I HAVE to go off the meds while trying to conceive. These are dangerous to the fetus. Now I'm uncomfortable w/out the meds and concerned that without the Sulfazine the disease is progressing while I'm trying to conceive. Anyone else going through this or know anyone that is? Any idea what I can do while off the meds? Also, wondering if some of you with more severe disease had any signs of this when you were younger? I'm concerned about the progression and disability in the future. Glad to have found this group too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
