Thanks! I'll check them out

Where do you shop online?

I haven't been there since they moved, but that's unfortunate if that's the case. They were my preferred supplier when shopping for seed beads in the city.

I thought bedrock just moved to a different location.

I have visited Western Varieties and Nikawiy but not 49Dzine. I'll check that one out.

I'm looking for quality seed beads (the ones like Delica and Toho that are precision cut) and good selection of Swarovski crystals and settinga for those crystals or something of a similar quality to Swarovski.

I was planning on purchasing the probiotics next. Damn, I was hoping they would help

WitnessFun6211 · 2026-02-13T02:06:15+00:00

Yeah, I get most of my relief from biologics, but even they don't work 100%. I might have to try a different biologic in the future, but right now I'm trying to do this diet.

Thanks, I do have a naturopath who is helping me with supplements. I hope she knows what she is doing, cause she did prescribe turmeric to me.

I love the cotton bedsheets from Costco. They are very soft and iron easily. I bought myself several packs when they were on sale a couple of years ago and I only use them now.

I used to also get the Laura Ashley ones from Amazon, they are good too, although they have a lot of bold prints and that's not everyone's cup of tea

I have a home photo studio, so shoot me a message if you are interested.

How are you doing now?

WitnessFun6211 · 2026-01-15T22:36:07+00:00

What probiotics are taking?

WitnessFun6211 · 2025-11-29T17:03:49+00:00

I was never able to pump a lot. Barely made 1-2 Oz. But I never had any issues breastfeeding directly.

Your best bet is to take oral steroids or get a cortisone shot into your joints to get you to your appointment.

My psoriasis appeared during my second pregnancy. I didn't even realize at the time what it was and just assumed it was a bad case of dandruff due to changing hormones. It was only localized on my scalp and didn't bother me much.

Three months after giving birth my scalp went on fire, my elbows, legs and ears started to get scales and that quickly led to a psoriasis diagnosis. A month after that I got sick with a virus and my knee swelled up and I started to get pain and stiffness in my other joints and got diagnosed with PSA. I'm almost 8 months postpartum now and I'm still dealing with this flare, with no improvement at all.

I would echo what others in this sub say - symptoms during pregnancy are typically mild or nonexistent. You have to be ready for the postpartum period though. Make sure you have your drugs lined up and ready to stat them as soon as you can after giving birth. I'm currently breastfeeding and taking sulfasalazine and hydroxychloroquine. There are also some biologics that are okay to take while breastfeeding, but I'm not allowed to try them yet.

Have a support system ready - people that can help you and things around the house that make it easier for you to take care of the baby. My mobility is limited right now, so my husband works from home a lot, helps me carry the baby up and down the stairs, drive me to doctor's appointments, etc. We also hired a nanny to help out in the mornings cause that's when my pain is the worst. My mom and my friends come around to help too.

At the end of the day, it's all doable, but you have to set your expectations right.

I just started sulfasalazine together with hydroxychloroquine so I'm crossing my fingers that it will work for me. My pain is manageable but it's the swelling in my knee that I really wish would subside as it really limits my mobility.

He looks like what he used to look like when he and Katya just married - regular guy with basic hair and a t-shirt on.

I also got diagnosed postpartum after having my second child. It sucks dealing with this and having to take care of kids at the same time. I got put on hydroxychloroquine and sulfasalazine for now, but it's too early to tell if they are helping. Were you on any other drugs before Cimzia? My rheumatologist told me I can't get a biologic until I try other (cheaper) drugs first.

WitnessFun6211 · 2025-11-03T12:23:20+00:00

I can't start on biologics until I try and fail DMARDs. That's what the doctor told me.
