    Will strengthening exercises help back?

    Hi, Newbie here. But not new to FM - have had it about 30 years. Change of seasons, weather, having a cold - any change brings about a flare. Am now 76 and have been able to cope all these years using meditation, visualization, writing, pushing myself (when possible). However, this month my...

    Like mother, like daughter

    I was quite surprised when my new rheumatologist said I had fibro two weeks ago. I knew I had rheumatoid arthritis, but I always figured the other aches and pains, the relentless exhaustion and so forth, were just an extension of that. Naturally, I rang my mum and told her. "Oh," she said...

    Please Help- I Must Lose Weight!

    I have gained ten pounds by using the gabbapentin and can't do much in the way of exercise. I know the drill: eat less, workout more! That is so hard to do because I am sort of homebound so I make many trips to the fridge all day long. And somedays, like today, I could walk--I had a great walk...

    Knee pain

    Does anyone else have really terrible knee pain around this time of the year? Mine flares up when the temperature drops in late September/early October. It is nearly unbearable and causes me to avoid exercise. What are your coping strategies for knee pain?

    How to deal with rainy days?

    It has rained here for the past 4 days in a row and I've been unable to get any exercise outside or even get fresh air. What is your strategy for these rainy days? The moisture makes my aches and pains really flare up. I can't stand this weather.

    Are You Able to Move Around or Exercise At All?

    I try to do something physical every day but it is so dang hard! A body in motion and all that...I try the treadmill but some days, I can't put my leg up to climb up there. Once up there, I go two minutes, rest, two minutes, rest. Such an ordeal. I have something new though. I like to walk...

    Laughter

    One of the few pleasures I have left is watching great comedy. Not the sitcoms that broadcast television networks hype with every new season, but comedy featuring irony, satire, and/or British humor. I like smart comedy, produced with writers understanding that their audience isn't stupid...
