      DURING MY FIRST PREGNANCY I STARTED SHOWING SYMPTOMS OF RA, BUT GIVEN MY AGE AND PREGNANCY WAS IGNORED BY ALL DOCTORS. AFTER I WAS DONE NURSING, MY RA CAME BACK WITH A VENGANCE, after testing, RA POSITIVE AT AGE 21, MY life has forever changed. NOW AT 29, I'VE SINCE HAD ONE MORE CHILD, AND HAD TUBILIGATION TO PREVENT PREGNANCY ONLY TO GET ON NEEDED MEDICATONS. I'VE TRIED EVERYTHING ON THE MARKET, AND GOING TO BEGIN ORENCIA THIS WEEK LOOKING FOR ANSWERS.
