Within Australia what support services did you find to help manage chronic health issues in pregnancy in which regular medication could not be used ? #Pregnancy #ChronicIllness ##chronicillnessinpregnancy ##chronicpaininpregnancy #Australia ##pregnancysupport #Pregnancysupportaustralia
I have chronic paroxysmal hemicrania with migraines and fibromyalgia. I was unable to continue the bulk of my medication and doctors have been scrambling to give me something to actually preserve my quality of life.
The data being used in recommending medication during pregnancy has a lot of holes that say something along the lines of insufficient records exist and this may or may not cause harm to the baby.
I have instead been somewhat left to my own devices to navigate symptomatic treatment which is not working.
