Why this group?
I created this group for those of us who have been told by our Doctor (or just plain discovered) that strenuous activity is harmful to their bodies. When I was 1st diagnosed with Fibromyalgia I weighed about 165. After my 1st back surgery my Doctor told me to eat lots of Ice Cream, shakes, milk products and other fattening…

Exercise Equipment: What works for you?
What types of exercise equipment does everyone recommend and why? I’ll start. I love my NuStep. I do not love that it cost as much as a used car. :( I do love that it is extremely disability friendly I have a balance disorder. The NuStep has a step through design and a solid grab bar. We also ordered the extra wide seat…

Hi. I've been here before but left and now I'm back. I am disabled due to 5 back surgeries, DDD, and DJD. My right knee is bone on bone with the ACL completely torn for the 3rd time. I am overweight so I am going to try really hard this time to lose weight. My biggest flaw (other than not being able to exercise) is that I…
