Any help or information will be GREATLY >appreciated. I have had Psoriatic Arthritis since 20, always had issues with my cycle since 7th grade, which now i understand to be severe endometriosis. I got married later in life and have never been on birth control. We had problems conceiving. After laproscopy and D&C(which cleaned me out), I was able to get pregnant at 37 and have had 2 healthy children since. The arthritis went into complete remission after 10 weeks of pregnancy each time. I love being pregnant. The tough part was getting pregnant quickly before the arthritis hurt too much. I was only on advil and tylenol as needed while trying to get pregnant. Once they cleaned my endometriosis up, it seems that my arthritis got worse. My theory is that since my body wasn't working on the endometriosis it decided to do the job it is suppose to do. I have found that my arthritis disappears when i am really sick in other areas of my body.
