I am new to this group and was looking for some feedback. My husband and I are seriously talking about having kids. I am 30 and am completely off methotrexate, and close to being off the other stuff.
The problem is when I do get off everything I flare and have to go on steriods and can't get down to a maintainable level of steriods or pain pills so we can start trying. Most of my constant pain is in my feet, knees and hips.
Leading me to my second question of whether I should be trying to have kids? My husband wants them, but has said the final decision is up to me as he wants to make sure I am able to handle it and I am most important to him. Which is nice but adds some pressure.
I am not sure I can so I am looking to see how it has been for others? I work at a very intensive job and by the end of the day am exhausted. Then with the flares, I am not sure I can handle it and am not sure if I should just tough it out and go for it or what.....
