Hi! I'm pregnant and have P and PA. I'm about middle of the road as

far as symptoms. The PA has been better than before I was pregnant,

but not gone, it still gives me fits, just not as bad. The Psoriasis

is trying to come back, again it's been worse than this, but still

active. I have had 2 doctor's jokingly tell me that I am not

supposed to be having problems with P or PA right now, so I may be a

fluke. I'm hoping I don't have the rebound that everyone keeps

mentioning, since this stuff has never went away! Good luck to you

with your pregnancy!!!

I actually think the PA depends on the type of pregnancy you have. I had a

very tough pregnancy and was sick for the whole nine months. Afther I

delivered, I had a very bad flare of P and PA. I think it depends on the

person.

Hi Merribeth

My PA was really eased during both my pregnancies and also when I

was taking Depo Provera (contraceptive injection taking every 3

months). unfortunately you can't stay pregnant for ever and I found

my weight increased while I was on Depo Provera.

At the moment I am taking an older anti-depressant (Amitriptyline)

which is also supposed to help with pain (I can't say I've noticed a

difference) but it also gives me a HUGE appetite and I've just about

gone back to my pre-PA weight. It's never easy is it?

Good luck with your pregnancy.

I was sick 7 of the 9 mos and lived off phenergren! I had gestational

diabetes early on and was on insulin.... my symptoms were gone, but like I

said about 6 mos later.... i felt like I died and someone left me in

hell.... please excuse my language but its the truth! I couldn't even pick

my child up, couldn't hold him, change his diaper etc. I only gained 1/2 lb

during preg. which was actually a good thing...I was looking GREAT! better

than pre pregnancy, but then when I got hammered, doc put me on prednisone

and I blew up like a baloon and haven't recovered! Gained more!!!

, I think I gain five pounds every time I get a predisone dose pack.

Luckily, I don't have to take it daily. But prednisone....pain... not too much

choice!!!

I guess I'm a weirdo... I'd rather be in pain than take it again... It made

me very very mean, and the weight gain was too much... so I'll stick with my

cocktail of vicadin and vioxx and my methotrexate... which the mtx isn't

doing squat for the pain, but it's only been 1 month, does it help with

pain? and if so how long till it kicks in?

Everyone is different, but I've been on my 10mg. of MTX for about six weeks. At

the present [cross fingers] I'm not hurting & p is looking better. The pain

stopped maybe four or five days ago. I hope you have good results, too. With

pa you never know what really helps, but I'll keep taking my vioox & all my

other stuff, too. I hope you have similar success! Sylvia

I've been on it at just the 10 mg. level for about 6 weeks. Hope it works for

you, too. About two years ago I took 7.5 mg. for about 6 months until I had an

operation & came off of it. It didn't seem to be effective for me then at that

doseage, but I wasn't in as much PA pain. I was just experiencing extreme

tiredness....then I had my first flare & was hospitalized until they got it

under control. Every part of me was swollen & hurt...So I really sympathize

with dealing with pg. tiredness & having PA on top of it all. I know it will be

worth it all when your baby gets here [but that sure makes you tired, too.]

Best wishes...Sylvia
