Does anyone else have a chronic illness and pregnant? How are you dealing with it?

[GagesMom2014]

I had been diagnosed with costochondritis which is an inflammation of the cartilage between the ribs and I have an excessive amount of calcium built up on my left side over my ribs were I have the condition but doctors say there is no cure I am only able to take ibuprofen for the inflammation but since I'm pregnant I'm not allowed to take it and the pain is horrible and extremely unbearable so I pretty much just have to deal..it ***** but I know baby will be out soon and I'll be able to medicate again.

I can't take my medicine while pregnant either so my symptoms are worse than ever. During my first pregnancy with my son I was on steroids and pain medication nearly the whole time. Im just trying so hard to avoid medication this time. I feel so lost.

I have kidney stones pretty bad I've passed 9 in 4 years and I just had n ultrasound of my kidneys and I have a hige stone the docs say I should get removed ASAP.  I passed a stone with my first son at 7mo. I had 3 surgerys to remove some and 6 weeks later I'm pregnant. I'm so upset that the drs didn't remove all that was there before.

I am coping one day at a time. Knowing that they are suggesting surgery after my first trimester is really scary. I'm not sure how to feel about it.
