I am an IBCLC and posting for my daughter-in-law with RA and possibly psoriatic arthritis. She is not well controlled on current medications her rheumatologist is comfortable offering her at this time. She is encouraging weaning of her 20 month old. Toddler nurses 4-5 times during the day, 2-3 times at night. Mother will have no other children due to RA and she does not wish to wean at this time and would prefer full-term breastfeeding (she feels RA has already taken so much from her). This little one is very intense and parenting her w/o nursing as a tool will provide other stresses to mom emotionally and physically. The options her doc has recommended are: Continuing on Humira & sulfasalazine adding in methotrexate OR replacing the Humira with Tofacitinib Citrate (I am assuming continuing sulfasalazine, but have not confirmed).
Methotrexate recommendations seem to differ between this site and the toxnet information. Please provide the current recommendations and which plan may be the preferred treatment. Thank you.
