Hi Dolphin21Yes it can be tedious!

After too many visits to hospital I left some departments and chose who I wanted to see. It would be good if one department did it all.

Welcome to the site.

You can search in the posts on here for hits and tips that help. As we are all different it helps to see what works for other people.

Take care of you

hi Dolphin and welcome ,yes it can be boring and tedious .But listen if you let it fibro will take you prisoner ,I know because I let it do it to me .The best thing I did was get a creative hobby it takes your mind of the pain ,also walking just keep it moving if you can and when you can’t rest up.I was able to have three children and have six grandchildren who I adore.Don’t be too worried sweetie ,you can have a life .🙏🏻🙏🏻🥰🥰

thanks for your kind words, feels really strange going from being able to do anything to having being restricted to simple things like bending

I know exactly what you mean ,I was a runner and 3x week keep fitter ,actually don’t know how I did these things because I had 18 point fibromyalgia but I have always had a strong spirit .The pain started really bad when I had my first baby pregnancy was horrible as was the birth and it took me over a year to recover from that birth and seven before I had another .

You have to pace yourself what I say is say do something for ten mins then I double my rest time to twenty mins ,yes it takes forever but the recovery is better .Get yourself on a pain clinic course ,it thought me not to feel guilty for the things I can’t do .Get in touch if you struggling with anything I have had it a very long time .xx💕💕
