My friend is 34 years old, she feels she was fortunate to have been diagnosed when there was not much data available on this disorder. Her side effects are deteriorating vision and arthritis for the most part. She also gave birth to a still-born child when she was nineteen and suffered two miscarraiges, is there any information you know of that could make a connection? She was never able to find out why her baby did not survive. Her current medication is prednisone. I believe her doctor has told her that she will not be able to concieve anymore due to this medication. Any input? Hey Eileen, cool name!!
