    I have fibro, lupus (sle), hashimotos and behcets disease. It's harder than it is for most, but it's still possible!

    Good advice. Yesterday was my first day using this app. I pushed way past what I should have in trying to reach 10,000 steps and had to stop at about 6000 due to severe pain. Paying for it today with a major flare up. I decided to cut my step goal in half.

    Oh no, lol! Im stubborn and often get caught up in trying to reach the fitness level of a normal, healthy adult. My body quickly reminds me that I need to slow down and really pace myself
