Menopause and RA treatment.

[shirlthegirl]

As you know i have my first appointment with the rheumy on the 14th november,

from the message that munoftwokids sent and the answers she got back,( I know this might seem a silly question) but are you also saying that some RA drugs can be affected if you are on HRT,

When you see your rheumy you need to make sure you tell him/her all the other medicines you take - even if just herbal supplements. That's the best way to be sure that they decide the best RA treatment for you and which won't have any interactions with things like your HRT. I know what I take is fine, as I've asked, but think it's probably best that you check yourself as we're all a bit different, and aren't doctors so we shouldn't give medical advice. But given RA affects more women than men, and often women who are in the menopausal years, you can be sure that the doc will have lots of experience of this! Polly
