My biggest question is that what is safest medication for breastfeeding and what if there is more to it like other autoimmune disorders?
Yes, I've tried Humira. It did provide some relief but not enough. But, everyone is different and what works for one, may not work for another. Eastern medicine is fine, but it probably isn't enough to get RA symptoms under control. Unfortunately, RA has no cure and it is a progressive disease - meaning it gets worse over time. Not only does it attack joints, it can harm your heart, lungs, eyes, brain, etc. RA meds can have scary side effects, however, untreated RA can have very scary ramifications. I'm not sure what medications are safe with breastfeeding. Do you have a rheumatologist? If not, I'd urge you to find one ASAP and see what your options are. It sounds like you are really struggling. Getting the RA under control could give you your life back. Please consider it. Hugs. This disease sucks!
Yea this is what I’m running into it’s just trial and error I’m just over bending sick all the time and it be due to meds. Sometime I feel living with it just as fine since no found the RA until now and it’s about 6 years when it started from what my RO says. I’m not a huge fan of her that way she is I feel like I need to find someone else For my Dr. I’ve taking the steps I need to build a team of dr. Without her help but my PCP is the best she helps me way more
Yes that one!!! Thank you I could think of the name. Have you tried it? I’m scared of pharmaceuticals because one and breast-feeding too. I don’t wanna give my daughter any harmful chemicals that she doesn’t need yet. Also I just don’t know what they’re really injecting in me and I have to inject myself. I just it scares me all meds do now. If I could, I’d rather do Eastern medicine.
How does someone like meditation called…. I forgot but it start with h and you inject yourself. That’s what I’m supposed to start while breastfeeding.
