BW all I've been told for 4 years is that I have an "inflammatory connective tissue disorder" that they couldn't identify. Finally after moving and getting some new docs I get an immediate diagnosis of rheumatoid arthritis. I know how frustrating and scary it is when you don't have an exact diagnosis as you really don't know what you are dealing with. I can only imagine it would be worse when you also have a baby to worry about!

Trust your instinct with the prednisone. I learnt a long time ago to not leave a docs office unless you are happy with their answer - after all we pay them to look after us! I was so worried when I first got symptoms that they'd just tell me that it was all in my head so I wouldn't take medication before blood tests (stupid but effective.)

Sorry for the rambling here but I just wanted to let you know that I understand what you are going through from the diagnosis side of things. You are the only one that knows your body and how you feel so do what you feel is right for you and bubs.

Oh and thank you for the TTC wishes - I've read your journal (after doing a search for arthritis) and will be following your journey closely.

Hoping you get some answers soon and that you and bub stay healthy.
