I started doing yoga about a week before being officially diagnosed with fibro. I started going every couple of days, working my way up. I do a slow flow, which is as beginner as it gets. I had never done any yoga before other than on the Wii, but I am finding it very helpful. It's helping me get in touch with my body more. Also the stretching is helping. I am realizing just how bad of a shape I was in, but even in 3 weeks, I now see improvements in my range of motion. I have a long long road ahead, but it is encouraging to at least see some improvements. My doctor was very supportive of yoga, and stress reduction in general. Plus, doing something like yoga makes me feel like I'm gaining some sort of control of fms, and that helps too.
