I found a gel that works like a charm for during the times I don't want to take naprosyn it lasts a few hours but prolongs the tie in between needing to take a pill.

It has so many positive connotations for me... I think power is manifested in each of us in different ways, and it's great to have such a tangible reminder of your own strength. :-) It’s the “warrior” that made me click on your blog!

An important question! I need to just write a post on this since I have answered it so many times... Very briefly, RA usually remits during pregnancy, but can rebound and be worse after delivery. You would also have to plan on changing / discontinuing meds. And, any damaged organs (kidney, liver) should be considered, since that increases risk to the mom. If you'd like to talk more, email me Kelly at rawarrior dot com. Good luck. Katia,

It really does fit you. By the way, my name means "power of the tribe". HAHA Right. That is cool that your name means warrior, and then later you start RA Warrior. It really does fit you.
