Wish I had a hot tub!! :happy: When I was able to get to the YMCA I always followed any exercize with a 5 min dip in the hot tub there. The clorine killed my eyes but it was a huge benefit on my muscles. Sadly this last flare up has prevented me from doing anything but work (and I don't do that well) for the last 2…

Food is definitly a trigger for pain & fibro fog for me.......the cleaner I eat the better. I stay away from white flour, sugar, processed food.......it has helpped ALOT!!!

Pardon my ignorance but what does the oatmeal add nutrition wise? (I am at work, curious and have no label to read here) :blushing:

BUT the way I got past the hopeless feelings you are feeling is to NOT GIVE UP TRYING ~ search, try different things until you find something that works for you!! feel free…

My one source of exersize is in the water ~ I do everything from swimming to jogging to walking to any exersize I can make up to do. under cardio there are some MFP listings for swimming, water jogging, water aerobics but a word of advise they are rather generous with calories burned. I got my HRM and it was less then what…

I have experienced it as well the best advise I can offer other then what has already been said is "listen to your body" my motto is "do what I can ~ when I can" I used to try to push myself thinking I will work through it......that just doesn't work. I don't try to keep up with the average guy (gal) as my body has limits…

I go to the YMCA ~ I have seen bathing suits (of all kinds) and work out clothes both...... it is for both men & women so no naked with towels allowed. Although some suits & work out clothes don't always cover as much as the towel would cover!!! :blushing: :noway:

not necessarily grapes alone but if you ate 3 cups of them last night that is equal to about 81 carbs in one setting and I have read up on alot of tips for fibro and alot have said to limit the amount of carbs and increase the protein. i am set for a 1200 cal diet thru MFP so entering the ratio the fibro sites suggested…

Deb ~ I too have asthma and I know how frutrating it is to want to be able to do things your lungs are not able to do. I encourage you to rest as I have found that when I do rest and do "what I can" when I can ~ rather then push it. When I push it ~ it takes longer to bounceback. PLUS ~ if I push it too hard I always end…

Count me in toooo!!! My original "I can do anything goal had me @ my goal weight by the end of the year......that means 59 more lbs to go on that goal! I will be shocked if I make it but I am going to focus on that goal and see where I end up ~ who knows; I might surprise myself!! The worst that can happen is I get close ~…

I think that fruit is good for us ~ I would venture to say that sugars would be sweets; sugar in drinks & such. I do try to eat my fruits early in the day so I have time to work them off but I full heartedly feel our body needs the nutrients that fruits offer! I found white flour & alot of carbs cause me issues ~ my carbs…

I have been on steroids more then I care to!! I hate it and beside the weight it effects my mood as well ( I become very intolerant of others and extremely irritable) I know when Dr wants me to take it I have no choice but I fight him every step of the way. Meds there in the beginning were ridiculous I had a tray of meds…
-
I log it ~ I wouldn't be doing myself any favors if I didn't! I would try @ guess what I ate to be specific not quick adding it. Was it a "binge" that you need to learn from or was it a night out. I would go as far to log in the edit field what was happening if it were a binge so I can become more aware of triggers; if it…

You are soooo right attitude is everything!!! Is it frustrating ~ YES; does depression try to rear it's ugly head? ~ Yes; BUT there is no way in God's green earth that any illness is going to take away my happiness!! So I surround myself with positive people and I do what I can when I can ~ and pray the God helps me accept…

A few of you have said that your GP has not "formally" diagnosed you with something you believe in your gut you have...... I say YOU know YOU best!! Sure we rely on Drs for alot, but you know what you are facing everyday better then someone who spends 5 min with you. If you have the symptoms and you want to make them more…

I was diagnosed with CFS 19yrs ago ~ I went from being a single mom working 2 jobs (senior citizen home & daycare) to not being able to work at all. They listed Mono then CFS and said I would just have to adjust to it. I found that there are highs & lows with it ~ the highs ~ I worked the lows I got real sick with it which…

I can do the exersize ones in the water....I am not allowed to do much out of the water (Dr) My goal is 1, 2, 4, 3 & 5 I have a certain amount of abs I do everyday. I have been logging food & water every day I am good with both of those. I have been doing resistance weights in the water while I jog. (I don't know how to…

I drink ALOT of water for all of these reasons but when my son asked me if I have to go to the bathroom @ night often too ~ I said yes. He said well think of this Mom ~ you are still moving even in your sleep!! LOL :drinker:
