Subject: road to conception is nearly here

Well its been a long 5 months coming off medications and learning to deal with pain and new symptoms.

it started in feb when i decided that cimiza isn't working after 3 doses and infections after infections.... come staight of methotrexate at the time and with cimzia not in my system at all and infections pain and discomfort started almost straight way.

its been a long time throught the long cold months and even the cold spring.

syptoms are extream fatigue and with a 3 yr old thats not great, pain in all most all joints and muscle pain. i have needed help with all things and personal care.

so its been a long road and difficult too but i am having my coil removed on 21st so heres hoping pregnacy happens fast and i go in to remission (ot likely knowing me but)....

Hi Davina, Good to hear from you, i was wondering where you had disappeared to.

I hope the pain eases for you, at least you won't be having all the nasty infections that you were getting when you were on the drugs.

Hope you don't have too long to wait until you have your wee bundle of joy and that you go into remission.

I started my rituximab infusion last week but i am still in lots of pain, it can take a while to work, i just hope it does work after getting no joy from the enbrel.

Take care and good luck. xx

Hi Davina, nice to hear from you. It will all be worth it in the end:) I wish you all the luck with conceiving, hope it happens quickly.

If it is of interest to you, I switched from Cimzia (which didn't work and gave me infections like you) to a half dose of Enbrel (the full dose made me ill within two weeks.) So far so good, marked improvement in pain very quickly and so far no infections (touch wood.) Not perfect yet but getting there I hope.
xx
