Yes it is true, Arthitis does go into remission during pregnancy but will flare again after giving birth. It took my doctors 6 motnhs to get mine back under control after having both my kids

it's not true. never heard of this before In a unique approach to inflammation research, a study by researchers at UCSD School of Medicine shows that, in a model of rheumatoid arthritis, inflammation in the joints can be sensed and modulated by the central nervous system (CNS). The research suggests that the CNS can profoundly influence immune responses, and may even contribute to understanding so-called placebo effects and the role of stress in inflammatory diseases.
