How in the heck do I tell pregnancy symptoms from my Fibro symptoms? Some of them are easy for me, but I find myself wondering a lot if I'd have been better off taking my Flexeril....
OB says Flexeril is safe, but I've sorta weaned myself off of it anyway. I haven't asked her about my B12 pills yet, my appt isnt until July 7th. There's B12 in the prenatal pills, but it either isnt enough to cure the Fibro stuff, or this is pregnancy tired.
Its just hard not to know if what I'm feeling is something I could "fix"
I also get IBS with the Fibro, so that makes it even MORE confusing for me. >.<
Help? lol
Anemia of pregnancy can cause profound fatigue.
Prenatal vitamins with iron can cause GI issues mimicking IBS.
Eat a decent diet, stay hydrated, get a bit of exercise every day, and sleep early and often.
I am also pregnant and I had horrible fatigue in my first trimester, it is normal to be very tired in your first trimester. I also had my iron checked last month and was found to be anemic as Jas mentioned. I am just over 30 weeks pregnant and have not taken any meds, it has been difficult but well worth it to me. Good luck to you on your pregnancy!! Thanks guys. I woke up this am for the first time with definite "THIS is fibro" pains and fatigue.
So Im going to call the OB today and ask her about my B12 pills, and Im probably going to suck it up tonight and take a Flexeril.
