to have or not to have a baby with RA?

[Guest guest]

Hi out there, I have a few ?' for those of you with RA. I'm 30 and

have had Ra for 1 year. I've been very fortunate to have no damage

because I was diagnosed very early. So they have me on Enbrel and

Metho. I hurt alot of the times like I have the flu but no swelling or

redness. Anyway here is my ? I have a 20 month old baby and was

planning on having another, but now that i have RA I don't know. My

fear is that it will make it worse and I want to stay as healthy as I

can. I just wanted to talk to someone that has had a child with Ra,and

see if it made them worse. The other ? is and I know that everyone is

different, but as with age is it going to get so bad that I hurt and

become disfigured, even with the new drugs? My rhumy says with new

meds you can live your life as before but with a little pain, but then

I get on here and people can't get out of bed, they are having to have

replacements, ect. sometimes I don't even read the messages because it

scares me so bad. I just needed to hear from someone who has it. I do

know that talking about RA with people that have RA is helpful just so

you know your not alone. Thanks for letting me ramble.

Thanks REBECCA
