Could It Be Possible That My Lack Of BC Started Up My RA?
I have been on birth control for three years I also have RA. The 3 years that I have been on BC I have also been in remission of RA. After stopping my BC I have had a really bad flare up of RA. Could it be possible that my lack of BC started up my RA?
