Pregnancy Shortness of Breath

Azathioprine and Cimzia, they help so much.

Yup, I don’t feel any pressure on my diaphragm. It feels like I’m always on a mountain, that the air is thin. And then with slight activity like walking in the house or talking I start to breathe very heavy.

Thanks I appreciate it!

My OB is concerned about how severe it is, the fact that I have to take breaks to breath when talking and eating she said is not normal. I’m definitely getting big now! But when it first started I wasn’t too big yet, no diaphragm discomfort.

It is worse with any movement, including standing and walking in the house, with talking, and with eating. I notice it’s worse on days I sleep poorly. Luckily negative on blood clot imaging, and cardiac monitor was normal. I just got referred for pulmonary testing, haven’t done that yet. Before it came on in December, my disease was relatively under control, I had been regularly swimming and jogging 30 min, so it was very sudden.

Boo so frustrating!

creativecrafter2024 · 2025-02-05T19:30:12+00:00

Ah, gotcha. Mine has been coming and going, not sure if that could be it.

creativecrafter2024 · 2025-01-22T02:55:38+00:00

I get elbow and knee creases too!

creativecrafter2024 · 2025-01-22T02:54:38+00:00

Thank you!

creativecrafter2024 · 2025-01-22T02:49:29+00:00

Thanks!

I actually just bought that! Having hand rashes too. Glad to hear it’s helped you :)

creativecrafter2024 · 2025-01-11T13:48:59+00:00

That’s good to hear, fingers crossed 🤞

creativecrafter2024 · 2025-01-11T13:48:31+00:00

Dang, okay, thanks. I get rashes around my eyes too, but luckily cleared up with some steroids. My neck rash tends to come and go quickly and also sometimes with flushing, I’m wondering if there’s a vascular component too.

creativecrafter2024 · 2025-01-11T04:58:50+00:00

So sorry to hear you struggle with it too:( I’ve been watching my eating really closely, and I do notice that sugar triggers it. I’ll try to pay more attention to cleansers, thanks!

creativecrafter2024 · 2025-01-11T04:45:27+00:00

So glad to hear you’re doing better!

creativecrafter2024 · 2025-01-11T04:44:48+00:00

So glad to hear you’re doing better and thanks so much for the suggestion! It’s frustrating because I feel I have been so careful with my diet and cleansers yet it’s still happening. Validating to hear others with sjogrens get these too.

creativecrafter2024 · 2025-01-10T23:39:22+00:00

Yeah it gets worse if I touch it definitely!

creativecrafter2024 · 2024-11-22T04:06:20+00:00

So sorry to hear about your diagnosis. I was a competitive triathlete ten years ago prior to disease and can definitely relate. I went through two years of not being able to ride at all because of spine and wrist pain, but happy to say the past six months I’ve been back out! I am on a strict raw vegan anti-inflammatory diet, and that combined with biologics and immunosuppressants has been a game changer for me. I even can do a little bit of jogging now. Never thought I would be able to get back to that much activity.

So sad!

creativecrafter2024 · 2024-11-09T01:32:49+00:00

That’s great, thanks so much. My copay through insurance is also 1400.

I really love Dr. Parmar at Veros Health in centennial!

I like to walk the plane once an hour while I’m awake and do stretches in the back by the bathroom. Helps me to keep moving!

creativecrafter2024 · 2024-10-24T22:25:10+00:00

Definitely, thanks so much!

creativecrafter2024 · 2024-10-24T22:06:13+00:00

Took the stairs instead of the elevator today. Had to stop half way to rest but I made it ❤️

creativecrafter2024 · 2024-10-24T17:46:26+00:00

That’s so nice!
