Guest guest Posted May 23, 2010 Report Share Posted May 23, 2010 Hi Soni,  I can't answer you re; the pregnancy, but re; the duration of flares that varies greatly for me. Some as short as 24 hrs and others last 6 months or more. Only thing I can count on w/this disease is that it will change, I just don't know how fast. Sheryl  I still don't know if I have RA, but I woke up this morning and feel so much better than I usually do (have had RA symptoms for past 7 weeks and have positive RA factor blood test). It's also possible I might be pregnant (will be testing in a day or two). Could it be that I just had a flare which has now gone down? How long do flares last for, or does that vary too much to give an accurate answer? Or would pregnancy alleviate a lot of the symptoms so early?

Guest guest Posted May 23, 2010 Report Share Posted May 23, 2010 Hi Soni, I'm 10w and can still feel it if I skate a few days on Enbrel. With my last pg, things didn't really calm down noticeably until the third trimester.

Guest guest Posted May 23, 2010 Report Share Posted May 23, 2010 Hi Sheryl, Thanks for your response. Maybe I'm just hoping too much that I'm pregnant and that it is instantly making a difference! Probably what has made the difference is that for the last two nights I've worn long pants to bed and kept the electric blanky on!!

Guest guest Posted May 23, 2010 Report Share Posted May 23, 2010 Kate, congrats on the pregnancy! I guess it is just wishful thinking, doh.
