Want to know how many people would be interested in a relaxing, informative Fibromyalgia retreat weekend. I am planning one and want to get as much imput from everyone as possible and get rough of idea of how many people would attend. I know you need more info to decide whether to go or not. Lets just say it the time and place and cost were good would you like to go? Let me know. Also wnt suggestion on where to hold it and any guest speaker we might have.

I would love to attend something like this but right now I'm trying to buy a house so all my money is going in that direction.

If my good fairy were to drop from the ceiling right now and said I could go and have the money, I would vote for a warm place, not too big but not too small, lots of elevators so I don't have to climb stairs and a staff that would understand our issues and pledge to be kind and understanding.

Does this help at all?

Maybe Florida, Arizona or even La Vegas (in the fall or early spring).

YOu are the second person that has metioned Vegas to me. I have never thought as Vegas being "relaxing" but maybe it could be? Arizona sounds great, warn even in the winter. I am sure there are many retreat places there that offer many things. Or I know ther are some nice Spas there too. Great thinkin!

I'd love to but I can't afford it right now.

I would love to go as long as it was no too long on a plane. Sitting for too long hurts my legs too bad. What sort of cost are you looking at?

A large group of fibrofolks from the AOL board did this about 10 years ago. It was help in albany NY and was wonderful..the place was chosen because it was centrally located for most of the people who were in the north east at that time..
It sounds like a great idea..I really couldnt afford to spend money on travel now...

I would love it. I am from michigan too if it was nearby I could make it. Otherwise money would prevent me from doing it. As for speakers I don't know?? Good luck

    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...
