    Hi everyone, Here's a bit of my history... became pregnant in 2006 had an ectopic and of course lost the baby, saved the tube. 1 year later I got pregnant and had a natural waterbirth and my daughter was born in 2008.

    Sorry this is such a long first post for a new thread. I've seen some threads in the past for Fibro Mamas but they are a bit old. Thought I'd start a new one. For those with Fibromyalgia, how do you handle your day? Was pregnancy with Fibro better than normal or worse? How do you manage...

    I have an appointment with my ob/gyn next month, and wanted to discuss some issues I've been having. I'm not sure if this is the place to post this question, but I wanted to get some thoughts and opinions before I went into my appointment. Here are some of the issues I've been having... - On...

    I always thought my periods aren't bad, no cramps, regular like a clock and over very quickly. The only problem is they're heavy. I pretty much have to stay home the first two days to avoid leaking. I go to bathroom all the time and don't sleep so well at night because I had to get up often...

    I had an emergency gallbladder removal Sunday afternoon and I feel like crap. My stomach hurts all over, not just near incisions. It's just so sore! The surgeon said that some people go back to work the next day and don't take pain meds...so why is it that 3 days later I'm barely mobile? I also...

    My cycle is 7-8 days, and I heard there's a way to shorten it by 2-3 days through lemon juice or something. Does anyone know how, or another suggestion on how to do it? Thanks.

    Has anyone ever tried chaga? I got some from someone who harvested it locally in the woods around these parts and had ground it into a powder for tea bags. I was told to brew it like regular tea, just let it steep for longer but am finding lots of different opinions on the internet on how to...

    I am 6 wks postpartum and breastfeeding, and much to my surprise, I got my period yesterday. My pp bleeding almost ceased and then all of a sudden I started bleeding bright red again, which I can only assume is a period. I was not expecting a period so soon especially since I am breastfeeding...

    My 2 years old son runs a fever of about 102-103 degrees that lasts 5-7 days almost every 2 weeks. His neck lymph nodes swell pretty big to the point where when you look at him you can see them very clearly on his neck. We have taken him to the doctor and he doesn't have a sore throat or an ear...

    I'm just hoping to get some support and understanding from some other ladies maybe going through something similar. My third child is now 15 months old and for the past 4-5 months I have really been struggling with some concerning health issues. It started with headaches that would cause me to...

    Hello ladies! I'm hoping some of you wise mama's could help shed some perspective on the breast pain I've had recently. It started 2.5 to 3 months ago and coincides with other right side pain. (Basically I had a amalgam filling removed /composite placed mid Feb and had extremely weird symptoms...

    Ds 1 who is 6, recently had lab work done. His WBC was 8 with a range of 6-17. The doctor said that you want a low WBC. I've always read that meant an inmunocompromised person? His hemoglobin was fine but his ferritin was low. So we're trying floradix. I always get so freaked out about blood...

    My doctor just diagnosed me with shingles (ocular nerve) It is just starting from my scalp down towards the eye on my forehead. I only have 3 of the eruptions and some redness on the cheek. I have none of the pain and only some tingling and a little burning. I didn't know I had chicken pox...

    I'm curious about what you do that you feel most enhances your health. Maybe something you eat or don't eat? Yoga? Exercise? Sleep? Chiropractic care, massage, acupuncture, etc.? Using a neti pot? Meditation? Something else? Thanks!

    We went for ds well visit today and showed the doctor these little spots on his knees. She said they were either irritation or coxsackie virus. So after the appointment, I emailed her to ask if I should do anything for it if it were a virus, and when she replied, she said to watch out if it gets...

    UPDATE: Post #4 is an update. I am keeping this up in case someone else in the future has the same issue. It was so hard to find info on this. I got HFM from the kids and it is brutal. I haven't eaten in 3 days because my throat hurts so bad. But the worst part is that I have sores in my...

    Ds1 who is 6 years old has been saying his tummy hurts very randomly for a couple of months now. At first we thought it was nerves because he could go about his day without saying it again. It used to happen when he would start eating. Now he says it after he starts to eat something sweet. He's...
