My suggestion is not to give in! I've posted some time ago what I do to fight this illness that bring us down all the time. it's not easy like you said to exercise but you must make an effort if you really want to get better. You don't have to run of do aerobics , noo, just do simple and nice exercises for joints and for…

As for me I'm tired of theories why don't they start doing real research about FM? all those problems and more drugs.. I'm out, I refuse taking more drugs until they find out what's actually causing all this fatigue, and abdominal pains etc. But it was nice of you sharing this article with us .Thanks

I don't have shingles or diabetes but docs here are not very familiar with FMS and I really don't know about Lyme disease

My sugar levels are perfect thanks god .....

Potluck i know exactly what do you mean and you're right it's not easy at all. In my case what I do is : 1 - if I feel like I exercise indoors, some free dancing and push-ups and light-weights lift, my own rhythm and it does wonders...If you feel too tired to exercise just choose some great songs from the 80's and soon…

sorry to hear that but it would be most useful for you! I have about 4 pps now that I use to control all my daily life - pains levels, exercise, food and medicine articles on Fibromyalgia

that's not good and it really causes loads of pain but if you wear a neck collar when you go out for a walk it might ease your pain... Those chest pains... terrible I have them as well as the migraines and headaches. You just have to set your limits as you've been doing but try each day walk a bit more and do simple and…

I understand your situation and I must say that in the past i used to overdo in my good days - in the present there's no good days- and the following days I could barely move. My body is always changing during the day, I might wake up with bit of energy so I go for a walk, or I do some cleaning in the house, but after that…

:cry: wow that's a lot of medication you're taking!!! I know it's not easy when we have bone problems along with Fibromyalgia. In my personal experience when a medicine doesn't make any effect I prefer not taking it. I don't know if you ever tried but have you consider to see a non-conventional doctor? chiropractor and…

I know a few people who took Lyrica and the side effects are not good. Most of them put on weight which is not good for us, and they said the drug did nothing to them concerning pains so they stop taking it. I have only meet 1 person that felt good with it . Personally no doctor forces me to go on Lyrica! I prefer taking…

Tramadol hardly do anything to me so I only take when i really can't bear my pains any more :sad: I also suffer from lower back pain bit it's due to it's decalcification but I take anti-inflammatory ant it eases the pain a little bit. Have you tried to take magnesium for the spasms? Valerian root is also good as a muscle…

Hello Charlie, sorry to hear about your problem. To be honest I have no clue at the moment of what you can do to make you feel better but I will do some research on your health problem and if I find something helpful i will tell you. All the best for you :)

Exercise does help me in my fibro pains it doesn't make them to go away but since I started exercising my muscles stiffness is not so bad as it used to be, I have a little bit more energy and my joints don't ache as much as they used to. However, the pain is always there some days the pain is unbearable, others I can deal…

I have the same problem food with gluten is terrible for me for sure. I think it's easier to say what can I eat lol. I love cheese, all kind of cheese but it's poison for me, except low fat fresh cheese which I can eat with no fears. some wholegrain cereals and bread are not good either for me. I have to try a few brands…

Hello for pains: 1 - i'm taking Zaldiar ( tramadol+ paracetamol) - it doesn't work that much to be honest no matter how many I take. I've tried just Tramadol, it was even worse it had no effect at all!!! to sleep: 1 - Valerian root pills , this works for me in one way, I explain, I take these during the day to help me to…

Hi, I think you shouldn't quit walking and unlike you may think is a great exercise and it's good for your heart too, it works all your lower muscles as well as lower back muscle strength also. You can track your exercises on Runkeeper app and see how many calories you can burn , you'd be surprised. As a matter of fact…
