Hi, Fibro mum of 2!
Oh, my God, how many times I have burnt food that I had started cooking just a few minutes before I forgot it! Or standing in front of the fridge, a cupboard or a wardrore thining about what I need to do...
Fibro mum of 2, I would like to ask a few questions if I may I. I 'm 31 and my husband and I want to try to get pregnant. My rheumatologist had told me not to try some time ago 'cause she wanted me to cope with the fact that I have FM and check how treatment responds first. But both my rheumatologist and gynaecologist have now told me that I can start trying the next spring, summer to get pregnant taking into consideration every aspect of FM, such as extreme fatigue, unmanageable pain and generally all the symptoms of FM; they worry most about after - pregnancy period rather than before or during this time. I also need to reduce gradually and eventually stop medication, sth like detoxify by body from any substances, therefore, I have to keep in mind that I 'd be in pain without any treatment...
I would like to ask you if you've been diagnosed before or after getting pregnant with FM and if so, how did you experience this pregnancy period?
I am aware of the fact that it would be difficult and other people's help is going to be needed but I 'm just asking about any experience someone may have during or right after pregnancy considering the symptoms of FM. Is there sth that I should be really careful with? Or sth that is of highest importance?
Unfortunately, here in my country FM isn't widely - known not even by doctor communities and I 'm just looking for answers because I want to be a mom myself yet I have to be down - to - earth regarding pregnancy - motherhood and FM consequences and challenges.
I would like to help you with anything I can as well,thus feel free to aks me anything you may want. Thank you in advance and even though we 're far away I would like to "send" my positive vibes and my sympathy with your FM, too!
