Re: Just wanted to say Hi. I just joined and I hope to make some new friends

[Guest guest]

Welcome, , we are glad to have you on board! I am 36 years old and

am currently trying to have a baby so your story is interesting to me. My RA is

pretty well controlled through Humira though I still do have some bad days/

weeks, but nothing like before Humira. I have been advised to remain on the

drug through my (hopefully) pregnancy.

I am a Message Board Host and Moderator of But You Don't Look Sick and

you're right, its an awesome place! I look forward to your posts there and on

this board as well!
