pregnancy

I'm currently 8 months pregnant, and I was just wondering if anyone dealt with Fibromyalgia while pregnant? If so, how did you deal? It's hard because when you're with child you can't participate in all treatment options unless they're approved and/or natural. Also, with all the aches of pains...

Hi! I wanted to join your site as I have had Fibromyalgia since 1999. I was a Registered Nurse for 20 yrs & had to quit after the birth of my son 10 yrs ago. I loved my job I didn't want to but was physically suffering too much to take care of others & work 12 hr shifts. I spend a lot of time...

I am new to the site (first post) and I am wondering how you were diagnosed. Did you see a general doctor or a specialist? Did they do blood test or just a tender point check? I have an appointment with my general doctor later today and I am hoping he can diagnose me. I've been having...

Good afternoon everyone, After at least a year (potentially more) I have come to the realization that something more is wrong with me than just being utterly exhausted all of the time. I feel I may have fibromyalgia, or rheumatoid arthritis, or a combination of the two. I would like to...

So, I was put on Savella about a month and a half ago. That along with Gabapentin and Valium and Celexa seemed to be lessening some of the pain... 2 weeks ago I was drastically taken off of EVERYTHING when I found out I am pregnant. I am about 6 weeks along now and in the worst pain I have ever...

Hello! (I posted part of this in the New Members area also) I am honestly not sure what I am doing on here, hoping for support and to become closer to people who are suffering from the same things I am. This is sort of long, like a novel, so, I am sorry for that! My name is Melissa, I am a 27...

I was not able to find a post like this. So, I will ask my question here. What is it like to be pregnant when you have chronic pain? Thank you for reading.

hi jennifer. i am so sorry to see you back here and still worrying. i thought you were diagnosed having fibromyalgia? as we discussed before this can have some muscle symptoms like mnd. what you are describing sounds like the old anxiety symptoms,i remember you were in such a state last year...

I am a 28 year old female and have been living with chronic pain for the past 4 years. I haven't been officially diagnosed with anything other than fibromyalgia. My symptoms would come and go in pretty regular patterns and last for about 4-7 days. No medications helped. I was difficult to...

well, I am not sure where to begin. I have had some minor things on and off for along time. Quickly-epstien barr virus at 20. That lasted for a year or so, there was no twitching, just tired and achey. Then 8 yrs ago mis-diagnoised with MS. I was having tingling and numbness, had MRI, came back...
