pregnant with fibromyalgia

I had three normal pregnancies with Fibromyalgia. Actually, my symptoms (aches and pains) were minimal with the pregnancies. The more you worry, the more you hurt. Just take your vitamins, minerals and do your exercises as directed by your doctor. You will do just fine.

No advice, I'm sorry but I'm following this as my husband and I have just started TTC and I've recently been diagnosed with fibromyalgia, I'm 26.

I have fibromyalgia and am also pregnant now..has anyone been through this and have any advice for me? I cannot take this pain anymore and don't know what to do!!! The only meds they have given me is flexoril and it does nothing for me....HELP!

i have fibromayalgia and am pregnant. What is safe to take for all over body pain? Tylenol does not work , and pain is so bad I'm stuck in bed a lot.

I have been recently diagnosed with Fibromyalgia and I was wondering what helps with the fatigue and flu-like symptoms besides Lyrica? Also does diet have any thing to do with the fatigue?

The very best of luck to you with getting pregnant soon!

What are some ways to deal with fibromyalgia pain? I mean the pain is always present, what are ways to minimize it?

I want to comment especially on one thing that you said, which is that a bunch of other things were ruled out before you were diagnosed with fibromyalgia. What I want to mention is that I have read many articles that say that people with fibromyalgia very often also have low thyroid and cortisol levels. I was terribly sick in 2009 and thought it was just a long, bad flare of fibromyalgia, but finally this year a dr. tested and told me that i also have low thyroid. I saw a whole lot of drs.

i have been diagnosed with fibromyalgia and wonder can you get palpitations with it ?

Iam a mother with 2 young children and I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia 4 years ago. Since then I have been suffering with extreme pain that never lets up. I am curious if anyone else has ideas on which medicines work better for pain. I also suffer from depression and anxiety issues. I also have difficulty sleeping, I feel so alone, because neither my family or friends understand my problems. They think I do not really have medical problems. I appreciate if anyone replies!

Does anoyone else out there pregnant and have fibromyalgia? If so does it get better or do you stay in pain for the majority of the pregnancy, I am having headaches that pretty much do not ever go away and my muscles never relax and I was given the ok to take Vicodin for the headaches occasionally, but I do not want to take Vicodin on a daily basis and I need some type of relief. I was getting some relief in the sauna, but I am obviously unable to do this any longer.

I am 50 years old and was diagnosed with fibromyalgia brought on by menopause. I have gained weight and lost so much muscle. I am so motivated to lose weight but nothing works. I have turned to a vegan lifestyle, walk 2.5 miles a day, religiously count my calories, and drink at least 48 oz of water a day if not more. I lost 1 pound in 2 weeks!!! Can anyone relate to what I am going through and give me some helpful advice...please???

I've had Fibromyalgia since I was a teenager and I have gone through one pregnancy already, but at the time I hadn't been diagnosed properly for the ailments that I have. It's now round two, I am pregnant again, and I'm wondering about good suggestions to help maintain lower levels of pain. Last time I was put on bed rest at 8 1/2 months and that was torture for my sciatica nerve. I'm trying to stay active and strong.

Hello! I have been diagnosed with severe fibromyalgia, essential tremors, arthritis in the middle of my back and lower back spinal stynosis. I am now feeling like my head is swimming and I get unbalanced VERY easily. I have checked my blood to see if I am low in sugars, but it always comes out in the 90's which are normal levels. However, if I eat something I find things get better. I have tried to eat small meals throughout the day, but I am not getting better.

There is a support group and message board on inspire.com with many people with scleroderma who will be able to tell you what kinds of pain they've had. I get a lot of support there (I have sine scleroderma).... the website is: http://www.inspire.

He then sent me to a rheumatologist who was COMPLETELY against diagnosing someone with Fibromyalgia. He instantly took me off the nuerontin that I had only been on for one month. I then returned to my neuro advising him that my symptoms continued and some were worse. Most notably SEVERE headaches, new blurry vision, complete physical fatigue and weakness and pain throughout my entire body. My MRI had shown scattered nonspecific white matter lesions in the frontal lobe.

There are many other treatments for both migraines and fibromyalgia. I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia years ago. I was like a cripple trying to get dressed. Taking a small dose of Trazadone helped me some. Over the years, I kept increasing it which cured most of my symptoms. There is a new fibromyalgia med called Savella which I read praise after praise on another website. Also anti-depressants can serve as pain killers.

the Lyme ELISA test is only 45 - 55% accurate. Make sure it is a Lyme western blot test.
