- Can I still have fun despite my Fibromyalgia?
Do you view a Fibromyalgia diagnosis a death sentence to your mobility and active lifestyle? It doesn’t have to be that way. Yes, having Fibromyalgia may cause you to take things more slowly, do fewer things and to accomplish tasks in a different way, but it does not have to be the end of your life on two feet. Even though it hurts to move, movement is one of the best things to do to fight the pain and emotional feelings that can come with this illness. Lying in bed or on the couch for long periods of time can be one of the worst thing for someone with Fibromyalgia and can actually make it more painful once you do move. (…)

Other natural helps include S-adenosylmethionine (SAMe), which helps in the production and breakdown of neurotransmitters like serotonin and dopamine and also assists in formation of cartilage. (…)

- Exercising with Fibromyalgia
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! (…)
