STARTING A FAMILY WITH RA | Arthritis Information

I AM 28 AND HAD RA FOR AROUND 10 YEARS I HAVE BEEN ON NEARLY EVERY KIND OF MEDICATION. I AM NOW ON HUMIRA ALONG WITH METHROTREXATE WHICH IS HELPING A LOT. I HAVE NOW DECIDED TO START A FAMILY. I HAVE BEEN TOLD TO GO OF METHROTREXATE FOR 6 MONTHS AND ALSO THE HUMIRA AS DR`S HAVE SAID THAT IF YOU GET PREGANANT WHILE ON HUMIRA AND ANYTHING HAPPENS THE COMPANY WILL NOT STAND BY THIS. DR`S ARE GOING TO PUT ME STERIODS I HAVE NEVER BEEN ON THESE BEFORE AND AM A BIT WORRIED. SO COULD SOMEONE GIVE ME A BIT OF ADVICE WHO HAS HAD A FAMILY AND WHAT MEDICATION YOU WERE ON?

THANKS

I don't have much personal advice.

Prednisone itself can have many side effects - that doesn't mean you'll get them - but you should be aware that prednisone can be a very hard drug to take. Don't take it if you're Bipolar or have a family history of Bipolar disorder.
