Hi guys,
So i have a soon to be one month old :)
But I am finding my RA to be back in motion. Whether it be because i'm not pregnant anymore or maybe because the change in seasons.
Anyways every morning is getting more and more difficult to lift up and carry my little one. I am currently on prednisone and take Tylenol. Advil can upset my babys tummy so I have been avoiding it.
anyone find pain relief while breastfeeding, or had bad experiences i shouldn't copy?
I was on actemera prior to pregnancy, anyone breastfed while on that?

I can't speak to breastfeeding, but I have read a large number of posts by women with RA who often go into RA-remission during pregnancy, only to have a flare after delivery.
Had a neighbor 60 years ago with bad RA who just keep having babies to stop the pain...and she was Catholic and that made hubby and priest happy. But I think she stopped after 8...or was it 10 kids? Don't remember but the house was crawling with kids!
