Has anyone gone through pregnancy with fibromyalgia? I have no clue what to do. I was diagnosed after my first pregnancy 8 years ago. This is all new to me and I didn't know that I will be in this much pain so early. I am only 4 weeks and I need a solution for the rest of this time. Any advice?

I have a group that I run....for women with fibro and/or related or other ailments....and I would never tell them that they could end up in a wheelchair....but would be more sympathetic.....and veer them to thinking more positive....etc......

Fibromyalgia is a chronic condition characterized by widespread pain in your muscles, ligaments and tendons, as well as fatigue and multiple tender points — places on your body where slight pressure causes pain. Fibromyalgia is more common in women than in men. Previously, fibromyalgia was known by other names such as fibrositis, chronic muscle pain syndrome, psychogenic rheumatism and tension myalgias.

This association is strengthened by observations that women who have fibromyalgia are much more likely to have late onset of menstruation and lower fertility rates than women without fibromyalgia. Many of the most common fibromyalgia symptoms—widespread muscle pain, fatigue, poor sleep, gastrointestinal problems, and depression—also occur regularly in people who have demonstrated hormonal deficiencies.

Also, Rodex Forte is good for the off days, so I need to buy that also.

Vliet, has information pertaining to all things hormonal and she recommends only bioidentical hormones for menopausal women (she is not totally against synthetic hormones for pre-menopausal women for several reasons). Her book is huge but so helpful. She also has a website where you can find information on Fibromyalgia. She is extremely suspicious of a huge connection between Fibromyalgia and decreasing (or non-existent...as is the case in a surgical menopause) ovarian hormones.
