The community is here for you to talk about therapies and share your challenges.
Get this - I had a bout of 24 hour stomach flu. I ran a temperature for the first time since I developed FM. The day after my temperature was gone, I felt less pain than I had for several weeks. Now the pain is back, and I feel FM crappy as oppossed to flu crappy. My rheumatologist has told me I have had an overactive immune system for some time. What happens is the antibodies in my system always think they are fighting something. Problem is that when nothing is there, that produces pain and fatigue. My theory is that finally those little bastards had something real to attack and not me, so my FM symptoms resolved for that short time. That is my story and I am sticking to it.

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...
