I just found out that I'm about 7 wks pregnant with my first baby!! I'm super excited, but also nervous because I'm not exactly pain free. I can't afford to do the juice/water fast because I have to eat. My hands are extremely stiff and swollen. Its at its worst at night. My left foot/ankle is swollen and hiring as well. The only thing I'm taking is Prednisone. I've been off all other meds for almost 3 mos, and I refuse to be put back on them.

Any if you experience a good pregnancy with RA? Any suggestions? Please do not respond with any horror stories or negative advice. Just trying to stay positive. Thanks in advance!!

I read about a lot of women experiencing remission during pregnancy, so good luck!

Yeah, I've read and heard that too. I hope it does so soon. I've had some rough days lately.

It will get better, keep working at it each day, it will ease off.
