I have to rant!! I am 3 months preg with 2nd babe (so already more painful) and I have fibromyalgia on top of that. I am…

I really watch what I eat especially caffeine and lots of bread. I also take lots of vitamins which is how I have handled my fibro from day one. I never had luck with anti depression medication and I didn't want the lyrica or cimbalta because of trying for a family. Support Helps too! The biggest thing is when my body says enough I listen it's hard and it's harder to ask for help! Hang in there mama. Again I'm here text, Kik, fb whatever. Prayers ❤️

Hope he does. It's okay. His mom was a single mom. So I think a lot of it is him just used to seeing the woman be the primary caregiver and all that. I'm just patient with him, because I know he loves the girls with all his heart

@uhohitskyra, what do you do to help with all of it? I stopped taking the flexeril and ibuprofen when we found out we were preg. I'm just so Achey and exhausted.

@laura_love, I'm sorry you had to go through that. I'm hoping mine will open his eyes before there is too much bitterness left between us.

Lyrica doesn't work! I can take flexeril but they don't want you doing that too much. It's a hard disease.

Fibromyalgia 6 years 23 weeks girl I get it. I'm here if you wanna talk ever!

My fiancé was the same way. This was baby #2 for me as well, and I was in crazy pain, and so extremely exhausted my 1st&3rd; trimester. I still was the main caregiver for my 1yr old. I so badly wish he understood

@junebaby, my doctors took me off of all of my medication. I take tylenol but that's pretty useless. I just want to be normal again and him throwing it in my face that I'm not makes it so much harder :(

a tens unit helps too.

a medication called lyrica helps a lot of people but I don't think you can take it while pregnant and doctor has to prescribe.

when I'm not pregnant I take ibuprofen but you have to Br careful cause too much can causes stomach ulcers so I also took omeprazole for my stomach. its very hard to work long hours. I'm a nurse so was on my feet all day. I'm currently on bed rest so not working. it gets really bad in the winter or when it rains. I started making hair bows a few years ago and it helped like therapy for my hands. I think staying as active as you can really helps. its hard with the fatique but its so important. also there are diets online I looked up to help and vitamins. that's about all I know to do. I use heating pads, ice packs or muscle rub/biofreeze for the pain.

@szornek,

i think i got fibromyalgia as well @junebaby while i was pregnant and after

Thank you @junebaby how do you cope? any tips for pain relief or extra energy?

I'm not diagnosed but pretty sure I have fibromyalgia as well and I have rheumatoid arthritis. I hurt all the time. This is my fifth and last baby. I'm 35 so its very hard on my body. I feel your pain mama. I'm sorry you're going through that will little help. It's sure not easy.
