I am 36 years old and 6 weeks pregnant. Everything seems to be going well, except that I am in really bad pain. All of my muscles and skin aches, like I have the flu but I don't. I also have some joint pain but it's not as bad as muscle pain. This is all over my body, especially notice it in my legs and arms.
I am being treated by a rheumatologist, and had recently had tests done to see how I'm doing. I am in remission with undifferentiated connective tissue disease BUT I do have a pretty active ANA of 1:640, which has been consistent for the last two times.
I did not have any of these symptoms before pregnancy, but I did stop taking Celebrex for a while just to get off medications. I'm now back on it and hoping it will stop the pain, which it so far has not. This is similar to what I feel like when I don't take Celebrex for a while, but it's never been this bad before.
I'm freaking out now since I'm reading about Myositis and hope it's not that since the pregnancy outcome is pretty bleak. Is there anything else that it could be or is this a normal part of being in the 1st trimester? |
