My boy was born 9 months ago and it triggered severe fibromyalgia. I am taking strong painkillers at the moment to help me cope. This is the easy way out. I am on Venlor XR that helps great with depression, anxiety and tiredness. The rhumatologist wants to put me on another antidepressant and 50 mg Elavil. I really get depressed when I change my meds and want to stay on painkillers for now. Would I ever be able to raise another child or should I stay with just one. It is winter here in SA and I decided to wait till summer and see if the symptoms gets better. Any moms with fibro and how do you cope?

I have a simililar disease with Rhumatoid Arthuritis. After my son was born 16 months ago I had the mother of all flares for awhile. It was misearble. The Rhuematologist had to give a diffferent med to calm down my immune system. As you know it is your immune system that is attacking your bone structure. I feel so much better. I was depressed all the time too. Once the disease was slowed down and my pain brought under control I was much better. You have to decide if you can handle going through another major flare after birth. Having another child is a tough decision. Your disease will not get better. Over time it is going to get worse. If you want another child I would do it soon. That way you can have them close together. I was diagnosed with R.A. 5 years ago. I have 2 other sons that are 17 and 10. My youngest is 16 months old. I find that having a bone disease really makes it difficult to care for my son at times. I cannot do some things i used to be able to to. I cannot get down on my knees anymore. It takes away from him too. I have 3 kids. I have chosed not to have anymore because I don't want to put another child through this with me. Also, my children are in line to develop this disease in their lifetime. I do not want to willing pass this misey on. My 16 month old was not planned. We were told 6 years ago I could not have any more after we tried for 4 years. They were wrong! We love and adore him. I am glad he is here. I worry about their future in health greatly. I hope I don't pass this mess onto them. It is a tough decision to make. You have to look deep inside and ask yourself can you hanel adding anothr child onto what you deal with already? Good luck.

i replaced into easily fairly underweight around the time i replaced into clinically determined with FMS...I had indicators in view that i replaced into 5, on an identical time as i replaced into in no way skinny, i replaced into interior of conventional limits lots of the time. FMS is genuine, however the difficulty is the docs are stupid, they use it as a conventional label for soreness or an person-friendly answer while they do no longer desire to hardship doing their jobs maximum persons clinically determined with FMS extremely have something else, ,like a diet or hormone problems or perhaps melancholy or Lymes (look up lyme literate MD) or MS

I decided it wasn't worth passing on down to the next generation.
