Can I take supplements for fibromyalgia while pregnant or breastfeeding?

If you have fibromyalgia, standard doses of vitamins and minerals are generally safe during pregnancy and nursing. It's important to get enough vitamins and minerals for your health and the health of your baby. Most pregnant women are prescribed a prenatal vitamin that includes a wide range of vitamins and minerals, including at least 400 mg of folate.

Always talk to your doctor before taking any additional vitamin or mineral supplements, to make sure that you don't take too high a dose that might cause problems for you or the baby. Several nutritional supplements used to treat fibromyalgia have been studied for safety and possible beneficial effects during pregnancy. The probiotics Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium have been shown to be safe during pregnancy and for 3 months after delivery during breastfeeding.

One interesting study treated women with either probiotics or a placebo (sugar pill) during the end of pregnancy and for the first 3 months while nursing. When the children were 2 years old, the researchers evaluated the 138 children who had been exposed to probiotics and the 140 who had not. Interestingly, children whose mothers took probiotics at the end of pregnancy and when nursing were half as likely to have an itchy skin condition resembling eczema called atopic dermatitis.

Another study, published in the Journal of Medicinal Food, showed that babies whose mothers had taken 6 grams of Chlorella pyrenoidosa tablets during the last 6 months of pregnancy had lower concentrations of environmental toxins and higher concentrations of healthy antibodies. Always talk to your doctor before taking nutritional supplements when you're pregnant or nursing.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
