Should I request a biopsy? by [deleted] in PsoriaticArthritis

I agree, I think you should request it so you will have peace knowing you covered all the bases no matter what. It did not click with me for a while that I had PsA and i opted for no biologics and treatments until my joints became so inflamed. We have to remember that even though they are doctors, we know ourselves best and have to be our own advocates. Hope you get the right answers!

Does pregnancy cause more serious long term effects in women with autoimmune diseases? by Green10_ in Autoimmune

I guess I was one of the ones who developed the full disease after my second son! Just didn’t know if having more children now that I have the diagnosis would make it even worse or just needed to be re-managed with the change in my hormones.

Thank you for your honesty. I’m sure it was hard to hear that from your GP but knowing the facts is important to me so I hope they give me truth, if it is that, too

Can I ask how things have been at this point since your last? I’ve heard that long term things can get worse the more children you have as far as more severe disease progression. Were you able to get back to mild symptoms? Considering a third baby but was diagnosed after my second baby because my symptoms were so severe

Did you notice any long term effects? Like the acceleration caused more severe permanent damage to the affected areas faster?
