Pregnancy and rheumatoid arthritis
I have had RA for 5 years. After the birth of my second child I started taking enbrel. It worked wonders. At the time I was also taking Methotrexate. I stopped the methotrexate about one month after I started the enbrel and I still felt just as good. Now that I have just had my third child I have started taking enbrel again.
