This isn’t a question but an answer to a question that some people might need to know. I want to inform women that biologics (like actemra) do not interfere with IUDs (both copper and hormonal), although they might interfere with birth control pills. Hope this helps someone!

Excellent info Mel17. So you are 17 and have this? Well, heck I am so close to 70 now that I can say I am older than dirt. Don't have to worry bout all that birth control anymore so glad you are educating your teammates. Thank you.

Yeah I’ve had it since I was 15. Not fun for us! It’s becoming more and more common for people under the age of 30 to get it, so I want them to know their options cause I didn’t know mine until now. Glad to help :)

Thank you so much! I hope you stay managed as well. The thing with this site is they say you have to be at least 18 years old, which I find not fair. No matter the age, people deserve support. I enjoy giving and receiving information through this site and through people that are in the same situation. The only person I know in my life that has RA is my boyfriend’s grandmother. Everyone on this site is helpful and kind and I appreciate all the support here!
