Why wear a ribbon?

"I HAVE FIBROMYALGIA AND I WANT TO SUPPORT OTHERS WHO HAVE IT AS WELL." (runningwolf1)

MDJunction to me

"All I can say is that this has been the best place ever. It has been six to seven months since I joined, and I have learned so much. I now believe in myself and accept myself on a completely different level. The people on MDJunction has been so supportive and accepting that I have been able to adopt it into my personal life. That has reduced a lot of stress in my life. Thanks to all." (bunnyfly)

I want to have another baby, but I am scared of coming off my medicines (which does not give me much help)and feeling more pain. I have two small girls age 4 and 6 and I did not have fibro with them. Have anyone experienced having a baby while beeing diagnosed with fibromyalgia?

I did twice. While I was scared to go off my meds, the thought of having the baby helped. I felt GREAT while I was pregnant both times! No fibro pain during, however it came back afterward. I can't remember how long it took the 2nd time (was 9yrs ago) but I knew what had to be done so I did it. (Going back on the meds that is). Just remember everyone's pain tolerances and experiences are different. Just because I did ok going of the meds doesn't mean you won't have a different experience. I wish you the BEST OF LUCK! Children are great~ they are what keep me going!
