Rest Day?

laele75

I know many people take two days off a week, but up until today I haven't taken a day off from my exercise. My exercise is very low impact and I never do anything for more than half an hour. But I had the worst flare I've had in years today. Even laying in bed hurt too much to sleep. The flare itself was mostly caused by migraines, TOM and a near miss fall on the bus yesterday conspiring against me. But since I haven't had a rest day in two months, I may have been overdoing it. This is also the first day I haven't had stiff legs if I don't cycle, so maybe I do need a rest day once a week.

I am seeing my doctor and the pain clinic next week, but I was wondering what works for the rest of you. Days off, lighter days, etc? I have been doing lighter workouts on bad days, but today was too bad to even think about it. I just don't want to repeat this particular horror, so I figured I'd ask for those with more experience with exercise and fibro.

Thanks.

Hi, firstly well done on the amount of work you are doing thats incredible without any rest days. I try to have two and just do them at the weekend when i stay at my boyfriends. The only thing i do there is maybe go on his wobble board which he has for 10 minutes. Keep up the great work x
