managing fibromyalgia

[Fitbug]

I’m managing to keep this under control but trying to get fitter. Not easy when everything hurts!

I changed everything after my 2 severe attacks, changed my job, WFH, reduced my hours, moved to a smaller house, it has helped a lot.

I’m careful not to push myself too hard I know my Limitations . I do Pilates to try and stretch my muscles and build them up, it’s really hard and it hurts but I do feel better for it the next day.

what do other people do to manage it?

does diet help? Someone said it can.

all suggestions welcome!

whilst I’m mercifully free of this condition - I just wanted to wish you well, it takes courage to face things and more so when you are in so much pain. When you’re stretching those muscles you won’t be on your own.

Thankyou , I’m lucky, some people have it much worse than me, but I believe in trying to fix the stress to lessen the symptoms rather than lots of medication, and it does work! Take care of yourself and Thankyou again for your kind words
