Why Ive been absent..

Hey everyone,
Lots of love and hugs to everyone, sorry I have been absent..
Lots of things been going on.

We found out we were pregnant in december last year with our second baby and nearly 3 months later we lost the baby. Its been nearly 3 weeks since that happened. I had to have surgery and my heart rate dropped to 20.
They also gave me tablets to kick everything off however they didnt tell me that the tablets were an inflamitory so they irritated my bowel and I have fibromyalgia.
The hospital seemed really caring and interested in my fibromyalgia and asked me a ton of questions. Its great news that this is getting more awarness. I was not made to feel like it was an invisible illness.
I am still waiting on test results from our child as to why this happened.
During the pregnancy i found i had a short break from my symptoms however when i lost the baby the symptoms have returned with a vengance including some really scary ones.
Ive had pins and needles in my face, and face pain, a stage where ive had electric shocks running down my spine and a stiff neck for a week and terrible head pain.
Ive had swollen ankles so bad my work mate noticed and rubbed my ankles for me.
My IBS has been horrid too.
My doctor is sending me for an MRI in two weeks to get everything checked out. Im hoping its not Multiple sclerosis but at least ill have some answers.
I have a nerve study to do as well as the nerve pain has been something else (burning, stabbing and pins and needles every day).
I have also been waking up sweating.
I had a bad flare before the pregnancy that has left me with essential tremors in both hands as diagnosed by my doctor. Some days they are noticable other days they are ok.
I now have an iron deficiency too which amplifies brain fog vertigo and generally feeling like crap.
Anxiety is up because of the miscarriage and i am even considering anxiety meds because of the night mares that remain constant.

Hope that everyone else is doing ok and keep fighting to raise awarness because FIBROMYALGIA SUCKS! :(

I'm so sorry about your loss and the increase in problems.
Sending hugs and positive energy your way

So sorry for your loss, prayers being sent up for you. Keep believing though God will get you through this.

I'm so sorry for your loss. Praying for your family.

Oh no, I'm soo sorry for your loss, I'm holding you in my thoughts and sending you positive vibes and warm loving hugs.
I hope this flare with all the scary symptoms eases off for you so that you can grieve with your partner/husband and get all your mri and other tests to find out why your having the increase in pain including the scary stuff.
Lean on your partner/husband and he can lean on you and be kind to yourself, we're all here to support you as well when you need us.

Big warm loving hugs for you, your partner/husband and your little one xx

Am so sorry for your loss hun. (((( gentle hugs )))) and with it the increase of symptoms. I have heard that while pregnant the fibro symptoms lesson. I have also lost 2 children during pregnancy and know the symptoms can often intensify three fold. For me it was not just the normal symptoms but also the emotional side of it can cause the symptoms to change. The "hot flashes" could be a result of your hormones going through drastic changes in such a short time?

I get the same nerve type issues.. Such as spider web feelings, or "electric shock" feelings shooting through me etc. Recently my rheumatologist suggested I try Alpha Lipoic Acid. She said it might take awhile to notice a change. I ordered some from Amazon and at 600mg I take it 2 times a day. Its been three weeks and so far my symptoms have lessened a lot. Still get them occasionally but not like I was.

Take good care of yourself. Know we care.

Laalaa I am truly so very sorry for your loss. I have also had a miscarriage too but not as far along as you. I am so sad for you. Call me if you want to talk. We can talk about anything you want. You have my number.

Laalaa, I'm very sorry to hear of your loss. I once had a miscarriage so I understand the pain. It is good that they're interested in your fibro, and hopefully they can get your pain reduced. I too have fibro with essential tremors in both hands, and occasionally my feet have had them lately. Sending you very gentle hugs and prayers with love! 🙂💕🙏🌸

Laalaa, I am so deeply sorry for the loss of your child. I can't even imagine what that is like.
I know what you mean about new and scary symptoms.. I have several and have been MIA for a while myself (Shame on me not being here for my peeps) but the overwhelming issues have just kept me from being able to keep up.
Sending you positive vibes, gentle, healing {{{Hugs}}} and well
Wishes for getting the answers that you need.💕

I am sorry for your loss. And all you are dealing with. That is amazing that you are still able to stay positive and strong . Seeing the good sides of things is very hard . Keep up the positive thinking.

Stay strong . Sending prayers your family's way.

Hi Laalaa
I'm new. Sorry for your loss. Reading your post many of your pains similar to mine. Its horrible to have all the pain and to include a loss its unthinkable. Will keep you in prayer.
