Anyone use AP while pregnant?

[Guest guest]

Hi Everyone! My name is Kim, and I've been a member of the group for

about 6 months now. I have learned so much from all of you - what a

great group of people with so much information!

Well, I was diagnosed with early RA in October 2007 and was taking

Minocin and Relafen. I was really starting to see some improvement

when I became pregnant with my 3rd child in late November. I stopped

taking both of the meds, and the RA virtually disappeared with only

swelling (but no pain) in my left knee. When I was diagnosed, I had

pain and swelling in my hands/fingers, wrists, left knee, and both

feet/toes, ankles and neck.

Now, I'm just about 16 weeks, and the swelling and pain is returning

to my feet, and a little in my wrists. It is certainly not

debilitating at all, but I'm concerned that if I don't get it under

control during my pregnancy, that after the baby is born I could have

some severe problems. Also, the amount of stress will be high the

next few months, as we are selling our house, and moving clear across

country just 6 weeks before I'm due to deliver! I am considering

going back on AP with Zythromax. Does anyone have experience with AP

during pregnancy? What antibiotics did you use and at what dosage?

Thanks so much for you help!

Kim
