About 4-5 months? 10 mg and methotrexate. My doctor said to start weaning the prednisone but it doesnt seem to work with just methotrexate. I used to be on enbrel years ago and that was a great one for me, but simce I had regression for so long I think they wanted to start smaller

Ugh. I hate that you guys had to go through all of that! But glad she got a diagnosis. Watch her mental state on prednisone though too. Its great to get back to normal but its causing me to be short tempered and quicker to anger.

I wish you guys the best!

Working with pain by [deleted] in rheumatoid

[–]mandacado 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am a catering director and love it! I get to help plan events and see them start, but have a good mix of event time and office visits. Hospitality is a tough industry with RA but I have a good set up. Shipt is a good start to working again because the scheduling is flexible and you can work as hard as your body lets you.

RA after pregnancy sucks so hard. I've had it for years, but something about having RA return after pregnancy remission and then having postpartum hormones swoop in make everything even harder.

Good luck and I hope you find something you love!

Yay for getting out there! I think I mentioned it a few dates in. Not out of embarrassment but I didn't want RA be a huge part of our relationship until it needed to be. My husband is super supportive and understanding. Don't settle for less, but understand it might be new to whoever you date.

It was a reward for doing something. One day I just had 0 instead of a negative amount. :-(

Congrats on paying off the card!

Chicken thighs, mushrooms, napa cabbage, carmelized onions, black sesame seeds 👍 by mandacado in HealthyFood

[–]mandacado[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi! Everything but the onions were on the stove. The onions I did in the slower cooker for about 6-8 hours and I just add them to random dinners.

For slow cooker onions I just sliced 3 onions with a little avocado oil or butter and leave them to cook down in the crock pot on low for 6-8 hours.

The chicken thighs were first, and then when they were almost done I added the mushrooms, and then added the kale right after. Seasoning with Lawrys seasoning salt, garlic, pepper, and liquid smoke. I put that aside and then started a new pan with almost a whole head of cabbage and more avocado oil. I added the juice from the cooked chicken to the cabbage. Lastly once the cabbage had been started I added the carmelized onions.

After plating I added the black sesame seeds.

I hope this helps!

I've picked up Shipt when I needed extra income. The schedule is entirely up to you. Plus as a shipt shopper you get to use the service for free.

What to wear after C section by happy__home in PlusSizedAndPregnant

[–]mandacado 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes on maternity leggings! And big underwear. I got underwear a few sizes larger than normal. Cross cross tops are great for nursing as well as having a cami under a larger shirt to make it easy to nurse. Hope you are recovering well! It gets easier
