Is anybody's pain worse these last few days? I have been suffering with a bad flare up. I am not sure if it's the weather. I should go to Pilates but not sure if its advisable whilst the pain is bad.

Hi Norway. Yes, I've had a flare since getting very cold last week and I'm finding the weather a bit of a trial. I'm still getting out with my dog once a day, but we're not going very far. I can't advise you about the pilates, but personally I don't find doing much when I've got bad pain is very helpful. I think still moving around a bit is important though as being too still seems to cause me to seize up, stiffen up and cause more pain. It's a balance! Hope you feel better soon.
I have been doing lots of walks to keep myself moving, but is so hard to find out what helps or make it worse. I have had no help or guidance from the GP, they are reluctant to prescribe anything. I feel I am battling in my own.
You are very agile to be able to do Pilates. Ive thought about it, could you tell me what happens,what you do there?

It is similar to yoga, it is stretching your muscles and strengthening your core. I went today and feel, much better. You can also do Otago, which is pilates whilst seated on a chair for those people who are not so active. It's all floor and mat work, so no running around. Would definitely recommend.

Just read your reply about the Pilates does sound good, I think the cold now setting in does aggravate our fibro, I must admit I don’t go as far when it’s cold but try and keep moving about indoors and especially when the grandboys visit always a nice warm bath when they leave . Warmth for me always helps so hot water bottle etc . X
