I noticed a flare post partume. This pregnancy has been a little more symptomatic though. We'll see how the rest goes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-had-autoimmune-issues-that-started-in-pregnancy#post-2099711 Sun, 08 Mar 2015 13:11:35 +0000 brownie 2099711@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A little different, but I believe that getting pregnant with my son did cause auto immune issues. I have always had skin allergies and issues, so that wasn't to unusual in pregnancy. It really reared it's ugly head when we went back for fertility treatments and I had an early loss preceded by an allergic reaction. It was nuts. All sorts of things change with pregnancy. Some people have problems get better and others get new problems. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-had-autoimmune-issues-that-started-in-pregnancy#post-2099676 Sun, 08 Mar 2015 12:08:38 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 2099676@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@spaniellove: This is what I had - <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dermatitis_herpetiformis" rel="nofollow">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dermatitis_herpetiformis</a> - thankfully, it all but went away, but I still have scars. I noticed a HUGE improvement after I weaned for some reason, so I do think my onset was strongly correlated with pregnancy, postpartum, and hormones. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-had-autoimmune-issues-that-started-in-pregnancy#post-2099467 Sun, 08 Mar 2015 05:25:44 +0000 spaniellove 2099467@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@blackbird: @Mrs. High Heels: Oh interesting that you both mention skin conditions...I'm pretty sure I have granuloma annulare that came out of nowhere. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-had-autoimmune-issues-that-started-in-pregnancy#post-2099396 Sat, 07 Mar 2015 22:47:37 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 2099396@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes pregnancy triggered some really bad skin rashes (these welts that would ooze and puss), and I ended up having to eliminate gluten from my diet. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-had-autoimmune-issues-that-started-in-pregnancy#post-2099393 Sat, 07 Mar 2015 22:38:46 +0000 tiramisu 2099393@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didnt have an autoimmune condition that started with pregnancy, although i was at risk for developing one. They monitored me before, during and after pregnancy. My rheumatologist said postpartum is when autoimmune issues are more likely to flare. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-had-autoimmune-issues-that-started-in-pregnancy#post-2099358 Sat, 07 Mar 2015 21:46:54 +0000 blackbird 2099358@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My skin condition is autoimmune but I can't treat it while I'm pregnant. Pregnancy triggered it, though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-had-autoimmune-issues-that-started-in-pregnancy#post-2099322 Sat, 07 Mar 2015 21:01:45 +0000 spaniellove 2099322@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My neuro keeps suggesting Medrol (methylprednisolone) dosepacks and last time I took it without considering why, but this time she's really pushing it as a better option for breaking a migraine cycle in my situation. I thought about some other symptoms I'm having, and wondered if there really is something that started while I was pregnant. </p> <p>Does anyone have experience with autoimmune issues staring around when they were pregnant? </p>
