I am told that many people experience RA remission during their pregnancies. I was wondering if any of you have any experience with this? And if not, how do you cope with the pain when you can only take very simple pain killers?
I am at the very beginning of my fourth pregnancy with my fifth child (yes, 5 babies,4 pregnancies, I had twins. I also realize that I just told you, a little over a month ago that I gave birth to my daughter. when they say wait six weeks, I guess this is why) and i haven't been fortunate enough to experience remission with any of my pregnancies, and have simply had to tough out the pain on tylenol, icyhot, hotbaths, and TLC, which was why my daughter was supposed be my last (although I guess she'll have a playmate, as her big brothers are 6, 6 and 9)
Cheers, and thanks for your input,
