      I'm 37, diagnosed at 14. The best treatment is going to depend on you and what works for you. What treatment were you on pre-pregnancy? Was it working? When I was pregnant, I only stayed on prednisone because I couldn't be without any meds. For me, biologicals together with methotrexate and prednisone have worked really well.

          @StrugglinMama I tried Arava a few years back and it worked well for a while. You can also try IV biologics. I just can't do the injection ones, I did enbrel and another one (orencia maybe? Don't remember the name) but the one that worked the best for me was Remicade
