Possible RA dx

[Guest guest]

I am 36 yrs old and am seeing several dr to try to get a final dx of RA. I

am almost positive that is what I have since I have all of the sx, but

negative labs. I am wanting another baby and have done research about this.

Most of the stuff I read said that the sx usually decrease. Has anyone

gotten pregnant with RA and what do they do as far as the medications go. I

am just so fearful that I would get pregnant and have such severe pain and

not be able to take anything to help with the pain. Also being newly dx

shouldn't I be taking meds to decrease the chance of joint damage. You can

email me privately if you wish. Thanks so much.

I can't give any advice or suggestions regarding pregnancy, but I can

about taking meds to prevent joint damage.

If you haven't seen a Rheumatologist you should try. You should

aggressively attack the desease as soon and as hard as possible.

Most joint damage happens in the first two years of onset.

Best of luck and God Bless,

Jay
