Rheumatoid Arthritis

Hi Rachel, sounds like we are all riding roller coasters - up and down - such is the nature of the beast.
I can truly sympathise about not being able to pick up your baby. I went through the same thing with my daughter and it was particularly worse at night. I also endured five months of no sleep with a baby that woke every hour until I came across The No-Cry Sleep Solution by Elizabeth Pantley - this book saved my life!

There is an excellent RA site (***LINK REMOVED***) that is a good place to go for a chat about RA and also have any questions answered. Most people there are in the US but you'll find the odd Aussie popping up once in a while. There's other information there too about medication, etc.

I am curious to know what meds you are taking that are safe while breastfeeding... I was told I could only take prednisone and fenac. Are you on steroids?
