I've had fm for more than 10 years now. I just had my 4th baby 1 week ago via emergency c-section. I remember with my last baby I had a minor flare up at first that eventually grew worse (due to an injury that led to shoulder surgery). I'm wondering/afraid that this time the recovery will be way more likely to result in a FM flare-up.
Anyone with experience that can share? I'm already so sore from the pregnancy and delivery, not to mention other weird pains I can't explain. I appreciate any and all advice!

I did not usually have flares after the birth, just during.
My fibro is a symptom of Lupus, not a stand alone diagnosis, so I am not sure it that is relevant.
