I'm still around, Kaeli. I don't think I can help at all much as I hadn't heard anything at all about prolactin making arthritis worse. I'd be waiting until you are absolutely certain that this is the case before you wean. It can be hard to get the medications you need right, and things are limited while breast feeding, but there are medications that you can take - it's just a matter of finding them and getting the dosage right.

Hang in there - it was bad enough trying to get the balance of medications right without having little people to care for at the time!

As for me... coming up to 24 weeks pregnant, and it looks like my arthritis is finally going into remission! I'm weaning off one of my arthritis meds (salazopyrin) and sticking with the prednisone for now as the prednisone is slightly safer while breast feeding. I'm hoping to be off both, but only doing one at a time.
