Here is an exert from an article I found a couple days ago.  I couldn't agree more.  While not easy, it is something I began by taking a walk from one end of the mall to the other, and then one end of the mall to the other and back.  And then building on that.  Nothing drastic, but it sure has helped over time.  And, if you do it at the mall you can reward yourself by picking up a new blouse at the end of each week!

"The most effective treatment for fibromyalgia is exercise. Which seems totally weird, because most people with fibromyalgia hurt worse and are more fatigued after exercise, and they may feel that way for days. The key is the right amount of the right kinds of exercise.

"Exercise training for someone with fibromyalgia begins with stretching. Stretching reduces the stiffness and keeps ligaments and tendons from shortening over time. Stretching should be gentle and it should feel good. It is usually a good idea to warm your muscles with mild aerobic activity, such as walking, for a few minutes before stretching."
