Re: Pregnancy caused arthritis? Anyone know if possible?

[Guest guest]

For 27 years I have been frustrated by the lack of research on this!

Both my sister and started our challenging journey with RA within

18-24 months of our first pregnancies. I watched her take a downhill

spiral after the birth of her second child and I made the decision to

adopt my second as of now she's had several joint replacements and

I've had none but she's actually more functional and in less pain

taking Humira.
