Talking to my spouse about getting pregnant, and I am wondering what experiences you ladies/men had with pregnancy and fibro? How is the pain? Is it harder to get pregnant? Please give me all of your advice.
I'm not sure if it is still true but years ago. People who got pregnant could go into remission
I was diagnosed with Raynaud's syndrome this spring. Does it make your hands clumsy? I'm having a great deal of difficulty using eating utensils. I've had to sometimes double the time I allow to make meals.
Also my hands are weak and I can't lift much weight. I'm also dropping things constantly.
Mine get like that when weather changes...I wear gloves to help me out especially to keep them warm. I always keep regular gloves, earmuffs, in my bag. I always carry a jacket and I wear thin stretch… read more

Just wondering if scientifically, that childhood trauma is linked to fibromyalgia and adulthood. Thank you
I agree with you 100%!
Thank you so much.
I just bought Fibromyalgia for Dummies in the hopes to find recent research and answers since I’m a beginner to this. Does anyone know of any other scientific and helpful fibromyalgia books?
