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!!!

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:
