since I had no idea about reproductive immunology. I am glad that you a great doctor who is out there researching options for you and putting effort into making you healthy. I wish you the best with getting everything under control. RA is a miserable condition to deal with...I have had it in my back for the last 20 years (I am only 30) but the medications that are coming out are doing much more to help making getting up everyday. Now if they could only make them not have such a nasty after taste. I wish you the best! *hugs*
