I have FMS and costochondritis. I have had bith for around 10 yrs and its very painful. My husband and I decided not to try for kids because of my condition but now Im almost 10 weeks with our surprise little one. I have had to go off of all my meds that were helping me through each day for the last 5 years. I was ready to do it for my baby and did but now its getting so hard. The pain is full force now with all the meds out of my system. I always used heat on my ribs and back to help. Now one doc told me not to and one said okay. Most online forums say dont use heat at all. I can hardly sleep. My back spasms all the time and my ribs feel like there is a knife inbetween each one. Im freaking out about how this will feel once baby is bigger! My rheumatoid doc told me that IF the pain started to get too bad she would call in percocet. She said it was safe if used only when truly needed and not used habitually. Im trying to hold off but Im getting 2 hours of sleep a night at best! I feel awful b/c I knew keeping my baby would be hard with my illness but I once i knew it was there I couldnt let it go. Now I might need to decide on taking meds just to function when i am terrified of even eating a turkey sub! I dont want to hurt this baby but I feel like I might not make the next 30 weeks without some help to make the pain lessen. Anyone else pg with chronic pain or immune disorders??
