Fibro or folate?

I don’t know what folate is, but I share all of the symptoms you’re describing as a woman with fibro. Pregnancy can trigger it, so I would recommend seeing a rheumatologist. No one would diagnose me with anything other than female hysteria until I’d seen a rheumatologist. What I advise you to do to manage the pain is physical activity. It’s VERY HARD to get out of bed and do that, but it will slowly exacerbate until you are begging for the sweet release of death if you do not allow your body movement and strengthening.

I hope you find some relief soon 💕

Do what the doctors say first, there's a lot of illness with similar symptoms to fibromyalgia & chronic fatigue syndrome & it's only fibromyalgia if it's nothing else.
& Kiki is right, as hard as it is maintain some level of activity as the more you rest the more the body atrophies and the more the pain increases & makes it even harder to get up & do things. The more you consistently do the more you'll be able to do. Keep exercise moderate not vigorous though, a walk around the block, or just down the street & back.

Rule out everything else first because when u have that fibro diagnosis then everything gets blamed on that even if u feel something else is going on. Gentle movement like walking and pilates helps me and pace yourself. Look up the spoon theory it will help with understanding how to manage energy levels
