do children with fibromyalgia have poor circulation problems - Fibromyalgia Message Board

I am asking this question because I have 6 children, but I only birthed 2 (and these were birthed after diagnosis of fibromyalgia in 2004). My 2-year-old daughter's hands were blue today when she got up from her nap today. It concerned me because I sometimes have problems with my legs actually being cold to the touch and feeling very cold, etc.

Has anyone out there with fibro ever birthed a child who has had some fibro symptoms? Please help; I don't want to have my child needlessly suffer.

I wish I could help you but am wondering the same things. My son is 5 and seems to have alot of aches. More than the norm for "growing pains"
The fact that your daughters hands were blue though concerns me. I would have this checked, not to scare you but circulation problems can come from the heart. It may also be just that she slept on them or her arms.

Thanks, kdel. I knew that but does it surprise you that I FORGOT!!! I am going to watch her for that, but I am not sure I am going to get that checked out. My husband and I are doing missionary work out of our state of origin so it's kind of pain to get any of us seen. I am going to keep my eye on that though.

God bless!
