Anyone up for a sedentary fibro appropriate fitness challenge? For instance, my year average on steps is 300-500. I need and want to get them at least to 1000, maybe 2000.

Fatigue is one of my most major symptoms and with extremely high blood pressure to boot, exercise just is super hard to figure out! Even…
Amitriptyline and Weight Gain
One of the medications I’m prescribed to help with the fibro pain is Amitriptyline. I have been taking it for about two years, ever since my official diagnosis. Right before the New Year, I realized that I forgot to call in my refill in time and ended up running out. On the second day of not taking it I noticed that I…
