Fibromyalgia and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome Support Community Group
This is a group based on supporting those who have been through the pain of Fibromyalgia &/or CFS & giving them the inspiration they need to keep going. It may be a hard road, but together we can do this!
Hello everyone! I am new to discussions but, have so many questions. My pain mgmt doc diagnosed me last week after physical therapy after effects were horrible. The spasms between my shoulders had paid everywhere. My skin actually hurt. I am noticing my scent is changing, my ears are very sensative to sounds. It hurts to have someone hug me. I live like a hermit! I feel like noone understands, I take care of my elderly mother and I have my 19 year old son and his g-friend who is expecting living with me so yes you can say there is alot of stress...

1 things that's helped me alot I haven't been able to do it for awhile do to transportation trouble but....
my physical therapist recommended it. after he ran out of things to try on me,
I tried it for a few weeks with a therapist & wow! I was ready to quit ..
but a friend from this group told me to keep going b/c eventualy the pain will ease, she was right..
I was doing Aqua therapy basicaly what it is , doing excersizes in a warm pool
our local health spa & ymca have 1. mine was covered by my health insurance.
you could do it with arthritis therapy classes too.
you can do it yourself without a therapist if you can afford to get into a place with a warm pool
basicaly go into a warm pool & do excersizes at your own pace is best not to make your self hurt more later, but do it about 3 times a week.
I do hope this info helps & you at least try it for a few months , 2-3 times a week at least 1/2 hr each time.
I had to quit working at about 40 yrs old. b/c of fibro,arthritis,diabetic nueropathy & a few other ailments.
