re : on working out.CFS/FMS

[Guest guest]

Hey there. The working out sounds good. But it is not happening

here. Before I was ill I worked out for 8 years, and getting

motivated is not an issue for me. BUT I my DX is not just Fibro. I

was diganosed with CFS first, which is similar(an overlapping

syndrome) BUT with CFS, you cannot workout and push yourself too

much because you will wind up flat on your back for a while. I know,

I have tried Yoga(after trying to do it at home to work myself up),

and the class on Mon. nite would put me in bed for almost a week.I

have also tried other things too. I did not get Fibro until 2 and a

half years AFTER I was diagnosed with CFS(over 1 yr AFTER implants

were out). I do believe that because I was so fatiqued and

bedridden, I did not feel the pain.So lucky me, now i have the

pain ! I remember talking to Carry when she first got sick and said

she was in so much pain, and I was not. All of us are so different

and complex. Improvement has come, but relapses come for me also,

but at shorter periods. So I have to be careful to 'not push the

envelope'. I have a chronic disease which I will have to live with

for the rest of my life, and know I will not be 100% like so many

others. peace and health to all...dimonds68
