so today we went to go see this christmas at the movie theatre. which i was very excited about since i love anything that has to do with christmas. Then the minute i sat down i realized why i dont like going to the movies..... my legs. they get all cramped and i start to get splints and i can feel the knots growing. I guess its just another day with FM.

Awww! I am so sorry! Do you have Netflix? It is much better to watch movies at home anyway. ((( hugs))) Jen

I'm with Jen, sometimes better to watch movies at home in your jammies with a snuggly blanket and a heating pad. BUT sometimes you just have to see certain movies in the theater!!! But I know how you felt. I have to wait till everyone is left the theater so I can go at my own pace. And if I need help I'm not embarrassed.

Yes, it's hard to sit for that long and not be able to move around much. I don't really go see movies much anymore, but when I do it takes me a while to get out of there too - so stiff when I stand up!

I am so "glad" to hear others talk about this...I too love to go to the movies...or I used to...but I have to wait til everyone is gone before I get up to leave...and then it is so difficult. I'm glad I have some others in this "slow movers" club:) see u at the movies:)

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
