Guest guest Posted May 14, 2005 Report Share Posted May 14, 2005 Hi, Chris! A fellow Rochesterian! Neat. Thanks for the welcome! I have to agree with as far as being pregnant and having EN goes. I ended up getting it during my second trimester and it lasted pretty much until I gave birth Although it was a nuisance, it had no ill effects on my daughter. It definitely seemed like normal pregnancy water retention exacerbated the condition for me; I fared much better when I was able to put my legs up a little. I didn't need any medication to manage the pain, and I never used ice packs, though I wish I would have thought of it! I bet that using ice packs in conjunction with putting your legs up would really work wonders. Best of luck to you! My daughter is 14 months old now and the most wonderful thing in my life. Okay, she can be a handful, too, but I'm so enjoying watching her grow and develop and learn new things every day. Good luck, Chris! e linda short wrote: Hello chris my name is and I have had en for 17 years on and off and when I was pregnant I also had en it was uncomfortable but did not hinder my pregnancy I took paracetamol for the pain and used ice packs to ease the swelling, it made no difference to my pregnancy also I have had 5 pregnancies and only had en flare up on two of the pregnancy and have 6 healthy children who had no problems after birth so having en when pregnant can get you down and is painfull but has never caused any problems when I have been pregnant. hope you stay well and hope you become pregnant and have no trouble it is a wonderfull feeling being pregnant and is rewarding watching your children grow up good luck chriscgzhang wrote: Welcome e, I am also from Rochester, NY.

Guest guest Posted May 16, 2005 Report Share Posted May 16, 2005 Hi and welcome I've posted a couple of times about EN and pregnancy. I had my 4th episode of EN on week 6 of my pregnancy and my Doctor reckons that elivated hormones are to blame. The pain and swelling have now subsided and I'm now left with blotches all over my legs which fade daily. In terms of treatment I used to take ibruprofen before my pregnancy but as this drug is prohibited in pregnancy I had to stick with paracetomal which I limited to when I really felt at my worst. Bed rest, TLC, sitting with feet up, etc. are all that I suggest, plus as many trips to the doctors as you can manage for urine checking. I hope that this helps. Best of luck with your pending pregnancy. Mand Re: Welcome New Member e Dorman/Completed Questionnaire Date: Fri, 13 May 2005 18:27:56 -0000 > > Welcome e, I am also from Rochester, NY.
