Re: Ok, Well its official..I am a FMS Sufferer!

I can relate to the way all those meds hit your pocketbook! I got a

really good video from avon a few years ago, it was pilates

for " older people. " <grin> I can do most of the stuff in it, it's

stephanie powers with celebrity's parents.Also, check the arthritis

foundation website for water aerobics in your area. I found them for

cheap that way. I was fortunate to have my primary doc believe in FMS

when everyone else thought it was all in our heads. I've been on

trazodone & flexeril for years for the fibro. it does take a little

time & " tinkering " to find which meds work best. Communication with

your doc is key. As you can see, there are a lot of us out here, and

we'll be thinking good thoughts for pain free days and restful nights

for you. Be blessed and hang in there.
