- 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.

Other news articles basically state that IBS is a result of someone going through some of these other diseases. I know I've had issues with IBS that I didn't have when I was younger. So, I wonder when my fibro symptoms start to lessen if other things will lessen as well… like IBS. (…)

Personally, I am getting a little tired of it. Before long, the doctors are going to want us to be on 12 different medications, pumping out hundreds of dollars each month for the pharmacy, and then we'll start to have so many different side effects from the different medications that the discomfort of fibro will become such a small thing.
