Guest guest Posted March 30, 2005 Report Share Posted March 30, 2005 I was married in 1976, diagnosed in 1978 and gave birth to my dd in 1984 at the young age of 42! Do I regret--not a chance. I was on naproxyn (aleve) at the time of my first pregnancy and was told to go off immediately. I miscarried early but the pain did not return. I got pg again in 6 months and missed again. The pain came occasionally but a few tylonel usually worked for me. Back then, NSAIDS were really the first line drugs. About 6 months later, pg again, pain free for all 9 months, had a beautiful 8lb 8oz girl by C- section (she was a double breech & my OB was taking no chances). Unfortunately, the RA flared about 2 months later and did not go into what I call " partial " remission until I started Embrel in the late '90s. I initially had problems getting pg but a change in thyroid meds found me pg after one week! I also was on extra strong vits, cod liver oil (omega's weren't really in then), 5000 mg vit C, heavy extra strength biofavinoids & rutin. I strongly believe these were responsible for my being pain free prior to my pregnancies. I'm only now considering going back to these & adding vit D3, you all know how easy it is to put off taking more pills than are absolutely necessary. So, although I was older when I finally had my , I faced many of the same problems you will. If anyone wants to talk further by phone, (it takes forever to type with one finger), email me & I'll be happy to give you my number or if you'd rather, I can call you. warmly, Lori Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
