I'm so sorry to hear of your plight, and just wanted to wish you well.
There is nothing easy about this disease and being so young with children, doubly difficult.
Hopefully you have people around you who can support you, and you need to get meds sorted to reduce the pain.
I wish you all the best

sometime FM can really take a toll. It changing UR regular normal to UR new normal. Take rest breaks don't tru to go all day without a break. You'll learn what's best for u as u go. OTC antiinflammatories help and eat good food. No more junk food . Well occasionally. U will fell the difference staying away from some foods. There's a great diet online forFM.
TAKE ONE DAY AT A TIME & it helps to keep a journal foods activities and rest periods.

i am not saying anything negative about you having 5 kids just that i understand that it must be terriabley hard and stress at times. and you must feel really presured. stress will only make your symptoms worse.
is there anyone that helps you or are you doing it on your own like i had to , i had one with special needs as well, and i had know one to support me it was so stressful and i swear that the constant stress i was under is what lead to this condition.
i had some support from a family charity called home start do you have group in your area ,they started in leicester oringaly . and have spread to many differant areas i had one when i was in banbury ,
try some supplements they help with out side effects , in most cases , if you want to know what supplements i use , private message me.[ the medeator on this site sometimes takes this info out.]because its classed as advertising , but u can give info if you private message thru this site..
ask at your social services about family support group for your selve because since becoming ill your finding it a a struggle, if you dont want to go straight to them ask your gp ,or maybe your health visitor at your surgery if they know of any groups that can give you some support ,,
they shouldnt condem you for asking in most cases there is help out there but people are afraid to ask because of the stigma , better to ask now before you have a complete melt down, 5 kids would be hard work for anyone but with this condition it really is and will be to much with out help . PLEASE ASK ABOUT SUPPORT .it wont reflect on you as a mother they will think that your sensiable person for knowing that your struggling and asking for help .
sorry i havnt a magic wand i only wish i had , please ask for help .

really feel for you. I don't have kids yet but would like to, but worried about how I would manage. It's lovely to have a big family but 5 is a lot to deal with when you aren't well. I hope you're feeling better soon. I think you will be able to have fun with your kids, you'll just need to take it a bit easier at least for a while. I'm positive you'll get back on your feet. If you can find a good GP or rheumatologist maybe they can sort you out with some meds.
Take care and hope you feel better soon x

You're newly diagnosed and can't stop thinking about it right now. You've just survived the 6wk hol with 5 kids under your feet all the time. No wonder it's feeling too much. But it isn't! You can make them happy! You can cope but there will be times when it's harder to cope. Which was yesterday. This time next week you will have a better emotional day. It will be easier when the kids understand a bit more. When you can say "lets go to the park but only for just over an hour", not what I expect you did and stayed for more than 2 hrs. They are also at that more demanding age of needing you to jump up and down to push one on a swing, rub a sore knee, stop another going off.
When a friend offers to take one to the park for you say yes, maybe say to friends you are struggling with all 5 at the same time and they will take 1 or 2 for you to do something with their kids.
It's early days for you, my meds have to be adjusted every month. My doctor sees me once a month so we can keep adjusting the meds to see what works. I feel supported and not pestering her every 2 seconds. It was her idea.
Now some of the kids are at school, take a deep breath and sit down with those at home in front of a DVD and enjoy a cuppa, even if it's only for 10 minutes. xx

This was my worst summer hol with the kids. My energy is at it's all time worse. I couldn't take them out for day trips but thankfully my mother-in-law did, taking a day off work a week to do so. It's been hard and I looked forward to it being over. Which was really sad
. We had to stay locally for our holiday. Only drove 1.5hrs and it bust me so bad I had to spend 3 days in the caravan on my own out of a 1 week holiday.
It will get easier as you learn what particularly triggers your symtoms and it will get easier as the children get older. I love that my days of lifting kids out of car seats and doing up their seatbelts is over.
