With no support in my area I searched the web for help, after two years I stumbled on to MDJ.

Not that I plan to get pregnant anytime soon lol, I've been wondering if anyone that has had fibromyalgia if your symptoms got worse when you were pregnant or after? Grin

Hi again, I seem to be replying to your post once again with no help. I am not planning on getting pregnant any time soon either, but then I am 67. Maybe when I'm 70!! :-0

Sorry, back to topic. Tongue I have heard accounts of getting worse, and others of getting better. It's a weird and wacky condition and everyone reacts so differently to a given circumstance. Hopefull some Fibro-mommies will see this and add their own experiences.

If not then we will have to hunt them down like dogs and force it out of them. Laughing

Hugs, Karen

Dengober~

I am sorry, but I can't help you with that either. I just turned 60 years old. I was diagnosed with lupus when I had my children and I had wonderful pregnancies, and I got mixed reviews on pregnancy and lupus too, so I think in most cases, it just depends on each individual.

Karen~you are so funny. Hunt them down huh???? I love you and your humor!!

Welcome Hugs~

Hi gals, I talked to my friend & she said her Fibro got better during pregnancy. Once her baby was born though, it's gotten worse. I would think it has a lot to do with interrupted sleep, but that's just a hunch.
