    ME too i'm afraid!! since Ryan was 2 weeks old i've had RA brought on by pg hormones first off they thought it was carpal tunnel, I'm probably stupid but i have refused meds cause i really really wanted to BF ryan. Because i couldn't feed my other 2 kids and my dr has said that i would have to stop feeding as the meds are passed through the B/milk.
    RA has destroyed me phyiscally and emotionally, i must addmit before falling pg i would spend hours in the shed with my power tools making things. These days i'm too afraid to look at a drop saw, i'm likely to take my hand right off. I'm scared some nights of picking ryan up to feed him.
    Dh now goes and gets him and brings him in to our bed cause i find it really hard to walk as soon as i wake up and i would never forgive myself if i dropped him. Panadol is my new best friend even though it doesn't do very much, i want it to just stop so i can enjoy my baby so i can get on the floor with him that i could play chasey and all the other good things but i'm 31 and feeling very trapped in a old crippled body. Thankfully Ryan is weaning himself and i will be able to start taking the meds soon any other suggestions would be helpful though ( sorry for the hijack)
