This past weekend, it suddenly hit me. Intense/severe constant pain in my upper right abdomen. Since I am 22 weeks pregnant, I freak out not knowing if something is happening to baby. I go to the doctors on Friday and find it is just round ligament pain (Ligament - kind of like a rubber band...

Happy first day of spring! My mom played Lacrosse back in the day in school, but me nor my siblings every got into it. It is fun to watch. I am pregnant with 2nd baby and I was basically bed-ridden and helpless the entire weekend due to sever round ligament pain. Still have it, but it has...

We will find out if we are having a baby girl or boy tomorrow afternoon!! Focusing on these moments and relishing them really helps get through the pain and fatigue during pregnancy. Take lots of pictures and enjoy these precious times! I am 20 weeks along, due on July 22nd with second baby...

Sent you a PM Catamountgurl!

Hello! Sorry I didn't see your messages until now! Wow! i bet it is cold there and cold doesn't help Fibro at all! I am in Maryland and the weather changes in minutes from rain to sunshine to snow haha! It is warm today, in the 60's! But then it is supposed to snow tomorrow and be in the 30's on...

Hello! I saw your reply message about my being pregnant and having Fibro. I really hope those horror stories don't scare you away from having a precious baby! For some, the Fibro symptoms actually lessened during pregnancy! You never know which it will be. You take the risk, but it is temporary...

Hello! I agreed with Medicmurphy, try to slow it down a little and change your schedule a bit so you have more rest time. If possibly, maybe work just 24 hours a week so that you have an extra hour every day to stay in bed longer. Confiding in your boyfriend and get what he thinks about it may...

The only shoes I can pretty much wear now are my comfortable Crocs. I used to wear slippers, boots, moccasins (were my favorite), ect. But now, if I wear something else besides my Crocs, my feet very much suffer from it that evening. At work, if I have an important meeting and have to dress up...

This is my 2nd pregnancy and it seems my Fibromyalgia has gotten worse during this one. In my first pregnancy, it was mildly worse, but manageable. But with this 2nd one, wow, it is crazy. Growing a baby inside me zaps enough energy from me as it is, but with Fibro it is even more! I can't...

aawww that is so nice of you to sacrifice your comfort for others! I hope it didn't cause you to flare up much!

Hello! I am new to this forum although not new to Fibro. I have had it for about 5-6 years. I am excited to finally find a good online support group for this condition. It is hard sometimes to not be able to talk about the struggles to others who don't understand. Thank you for all of the posts...

Same here, I am pretty young and have Fibro and don't have anyone who understands. It is tough some days and very lonely. Esp when I should be in my prime and I get out of bed walking to the bathroom looking like I am 100 years old, bent over. Instead of telling people you are sore, tell them...
