I advocate a Quell device if you are in pain . Google

I wasnt diagnosed until after having my children. I do know my older two inherited my migraines. Little one is about the age the older two were when they had their first migraines.

My mother had it and I have just been diagnosed with it.

Do any of you feel fibro can be passed down to your children? Or have you heard of this?

I, without knowing it, started getting fibro when I was 19. My mom and sister both said when I became pregnant and had my son at 25 is when they noticed me getting sick.

I carry, and I am sure others, carry the guilty of not being able to do what we use to do or doing things with our families. It was hard to explain to my son why mom could not do this or that. Why mom had to go slow or just why mom just did not feel good. I tried the best I could but fibro doesn't care who you are, what your race is, age or gender. It will hit you like a ton of bricks.

As he grew up everytime he felt a slight pain or joint issue my mind would immediately go to fibro, wondering if I had passed this onto him.

Fast forward to about 5-10 years ago I was asked to babysit a friend's young child. The next day I could not move the next day. I was in total pain.

It sucks. It just sucks. We try to have a sense of normalicy of how we were before fibro hit but that is just now how it its anymore.

I am not sure how to answer you, it is one you have to do the pros and cons I would think if it is right for you and your family.

I was told to not have children due to my pain and illnesses so son was not in our future, he just happened to come along.

I am grateful for my young man who is much older now, I can't imagine now not having him.
