Hello @kturrell,

I'd like to invite @rwinney, @darby413, @sue15, and @mellyinca who have all talked about have central pain or central sensitization syndrome in the following discussion:

"Central sensitization syndrome and treatment?"
- https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/central-sensitization-syndrome-and-treatment/

@kturrell, when you mention the pain has been consistent, has it been consistently worse or it just has maintained it's level from before becoming pregnant? Was there evidence or some data that pointed towards the possibility of the pain going away during pregnancy? If you are comfortable sharing, how are you, and the baby, otherwise doing?

@JustinMcClanahan
The flare ups have been more frequent since becoming pregnant.
Yes, I had 2 doctors (my Pain doctor and obgyn) say the condition would very likely go away during pregnancy- I assume due to hormones).

Frequency and pain had significantly increased in the past year, so I’m not entirely sure if recent changes are pregnancy related or just increasing symptoms, but interesting timing.

Other than the pain syndrome the pregnancy is going great!

@JustinMcClanahan Thank you for the invite. I will certainly check it out. Thanks. I just learned there are 13 treatment centers in our country. New fact!
