Hi Jennie, Welcome to our group, My name is Audie and I'm 54. and I have had

fibro at least 5 yrs,maybe more. I kept going to my Dr. because of my neck and

shoulders hurting, nothing was helping and he said you may have fibro, excerise

at least 15 minutes a day, and I thought that was the cure and I would be o.k.

what a suprise! Exercise does not help me at all, I think I do better the more

rest I get. When I do have a good day I do to much and then I can't do anything

for several days. I take pain pills and muscle relaxers, some days they help and

some days they don't. I do hope you can get some help from this group. Audie

How long did you suffer before you got help? couple months

Is there a time that you can remember when it started? In my 20's but pain was

not as bad

Some of us have found lack of exercise we are overweight. Have you

found this to be a problem also? Definitely

What have you found that helps ease the pain, warm baths, medications

I thank you for the welcome. I have only been in the groups for a few days and

I have enjoyed every minute. Not only is everybody friendly but it is a very

informative group.

Jennie, welcome to our list. I think that we are a good group. We are very

caring of each other, loving and very supportive. If you have any questions,

just let us know. Someone will more than likely have the answer. If no one

does someone will find out. Also if you feel like venting, have at it. We

all have at one time or another.

Take care,

Irene

Books may well be the only true magic
