Hi! I'm 72 and have fibromyalgia and arthritis. This year another muscle issue starting requiring me to use a cane, so my exercise is pretty limited. I am looking forward to taking control of the one thing I can control - my weight :) And feeling that getting back to the basics of counting calories is going to be…
I have had fibromyalgia since the late 1980's, currently on disability. So all levels of pain including bed bound pain, I have experienced. A doctor once told me that you "Have to walk."
