We face prejudice from ignorant people who don't understand FMS in our daily lives. Why do we need it here?? I thought this group was for sharing information about how to deal with FMS, not for someone to come in and tell us we got it because we're lazy. We can get that from some bimbo on the street. Where ARE you? DUH. We don't exercise because it hurts WHEN we are not treated for FMS!! If you've read at least 2 of the posts here you can see this is a continuing battle, what works for one doesn't work for everyone, and we are experimenting to find some comfort to just deal with everyday life. Do you even have FMS?? Yes, some people are lazy. SO?? That has little to do with FMS IMHO. And for you to come here to this forum to discuss that is off topic and out of line. IMHO. " Instead of not even giving > it a try, give it a few weeks to a month. Its better then sitting/lying > around and letting your muscles (the heart is a muscle) just die. " > Just WHO the blue .....are you talking about or to?? I think the answer is " those people " ...a phrase often used by people who are judgemental and group people...it's called prejudice. And what is " IT " ???? There are many kinds of excercise. I'm not going to do the kind that hurts. If that bothers you...(hmmm..I can't say that) I will do the kind of exercise that doesn't hurt. Do you know that you are talking to people who some of us can't walk more than 50 yards without pain? So you used to rollerblade and go to the gym. Well, rootty toot for you. Gee you don't think you're superior do you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you do range of motion excercises? Are you doing these on your own or from a book any kind of professional? I would be interested in knowing which excercises are good for relieving pain, but I don't see much in the book that I bought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
