Pregnant with Fibromyalgia

My pregnancy went very well wtih Lupus and Fibromyalgia. My son is now 12 and is just used to knowing that I need a daily nap. My husband agreed up-front to helping out more than the typical father and everything has gone well.
Good luck!

Hi K.
I myself don't have fibro but my mother does and has suffered for many many years. I am very familiar with the disease and all the auto immune problems that go along with it. You mentioned that you have it under control very well. If you were to get pregnant that disrupts the whole kit and cabbodle of auto immune problems which could put you into a full flair-up and may have to start from square one all over again.
Good luck I know it's a very tough decision to make.

Hi K.,

I am glad that I can finally discus a topic I know really really well. I was diagnosed with FMS in 2004. I remarried in 2005 and discovered I was pregnant in December of the same year. I had not even considered my FMS affecting my pregnancy. Not to mention, I had no help from my current husband considering he still thought my FMS was in my head. My first doctor appointment was the eye opener. My doctor informed me that my FMS will either get better with pregnancy or get worse. Basically, it will be a ride and all I could do at that point was just hold on and see where the track led me. Needless to say a lot of it got better. The only thing is that my weight got out of control. As I am sure you know that is one thing that comes along with FMS. My ankles became cankles for the last 3 months. I teetered with diabetes, but seemed to keep it under control with my diet. My labor was more painful, but I also think that a lot of that came from the Pitocin. Never the less, I did ask for some meds (which I never had with my other two prefibro) and was getting ready to be prepped for an epidural when it became time to start pushing. All in all, my labor was approximately 2 hours long, but it seemed like an eternity. If you can avoid Pitocin (the devil’s juice), do it. I really feel that is what caused my labor (and pain) to be so much more intense. If you would like any details or have any more questions…please ask. I am glad to help. Yet, bottom line, your doctor should be the first one to check with. Just make sure you find someone who also understands FMS. Good Luck! You can do it if you change your mind setting!

God bless! C. 

Hi K. - I wanted to give you a link to check that addresses fibromyalgia and the use of mangosteen juice: http://www.insidemangosteen.com/powerx/written-f.html
I hope that will help you. I believe you will find the answers to your questions and make the right decision for yourself, hubby, kids and any future baby you are blessed with. Sincerely, V. G. :o) www.referralco-op.com and www.findgreenhere.com

I have FMS myself. I can only tell you my experience so far. I am 38 weeks pregnant, and must admit that my pregnancy has not been the easiest. I did some reading and asking around. Everything I read states that your first pregnancy is the one that is tough, after that your body knows what its doing pretty much and subsequent pregnancies are not that bad. I also read that with labor, you should not attempt it without meds, but that it had been done, really depends on the woman and her tolerance for pain, but remember that most people with FMS do not have the greatest tolerance for pain (actually they probably do, but their pain receptors work sooo much better than others) Sorry I could not help more.

K.,

I have been doing research on my sisters RSD disease and came up with something startling. Her disease is caused by a spirochete bacteria called Borrelia burgdorfi, the same one that causes LIME disease. Your disease was listed on there too. You should look into this. here is the website:

The cure for lime disease is SAMENTO, taken for a year or more. Do a web search on it.

Hi K.,

I would like to share some information with you about nutritional supplementation for fibromyalgia. There are supplements that you can take to overcome fibromyalgia in advance of a pregnancy. There are also ones that you can take throughout pregnancy that would be most beneficial to you. The most important product that I would like to share with you is called Genesis. It is a 100% juice nutritional drink that provides 2 miracle molecules, resveratrol and ellagic acid. It is a very effective product that also works as an anti-inflammatory and pain reliever. You can find out more about it if you watch the videos at www.symmetrydirect.com/dhendon

Please don't hesitate to call me. You can see my business listing if you click on Local Business Reviews.

Hi K.,

I know that acupuncture can help facilitate getting pregnant and cope with the morning sickness and aches and pains that go with being pregnant. I also know that it can be beneficial to people with fibomyalgia. I don't have fibromyalgia but I am 8 months pregnant and have used acupuncture for my entire pregnancy. I saw Nancy at Valley Acupuncture, ###-###-####, until I moved.

Good Luck,
U.

Dear K.,

You mention that your husband “would like” to add to the family. If this means that you are NOT yet pregnant, please go to the doctor with your husband and get a sound medical opinion.

I’m concerned that your husband does not consider your medical condition over the desire to have a third child.

If you are already pregnant, your doctor can recommend the best delivery and pain control options. Your husband should most definitely be prepared to have a full time nanny for a new baby in the family.

Blessings…….

Hi K.,

I have worked with several people with Fibromyalgia and have seen great results with turning the illness around with better sleep on the Nikken sleepsystem, good wholefood nutrition, good living water and magnetic insoles on the feet during the day.

In Japan they have a study on Fibromyalgia and called it magnetically deficient.

I am a wellness consultant and share healthy living to stay healthier.

If you would like more info check out www.nikken.com/ninamarie
or you may email me.

Wish you a healhty delivery and getting what you need to get your health back.

Have a blessed day.
