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...
In order to qualify with current standards to have FM, you must have the tender points (although this is debatable to me, as I have them, but only when I'm flaring, and there are others out there who have the same symptom). But to be dx'd now, you must have 11 of the 18 tender points. Do a seach for FM Tenderpoints and tons of websites will come up. He will ask other questions, like do you legs hurt, how long have they been hurting, do your shoulders hurt, how long? He will ask lots of questions, which I can't remember now, but someone else will post them for you.
I hope that this helps a little. And keep us updated.
