Good luck Sparkie, exercise is great, it nearly always hurts afterwards but also it releases some of the seratonin we need to make us happier! Have a nice session...hopefully! xxxx :)

Hi Fibrodude well I have done it and am waiting on a blast of serotonin feeling rather pleased with my self as I have allowed fibro to dictate to me for too long. Positive thoughts and all that and thanks for your encouraging comment Sparkie xxxx

hi sparkie think your brill going to pillates, hope not to many aches and pains. I go swimming which i find helps and i have tried ti chi which i didnt get on with very well. you do everything very slow which i found caused more pain in my thighs. I used to enjoy taking bess our dog for walks when i could but we lost her last june. its not much fun on your own. take care xx

Hi Scrummie thankyou for your kind words it took a lot to go but i went with my neighbour who has encouraged me,I am in awe of you going swimming we are about to get a new pool here soon so may give it a go. Hows about getting a wee dog then you can go out walking again and you wont feel lonley doing so Ugs to you xx
