    Stretching

    Hi, everyone! Not sure if this topic has been discussed. I wasn't sure what to title it. My question is this: does stretching help you? I have figured out that if I am careful not to overdo it, steady aerobic exercise helps. Also moderate weight lifting seems to help. But I go back and forth...

    Hi, I've been doing this for the past 2 weeks, and it really makes me feel good. I already try to walk as much as I can, but the idea that I can walk a mile at home, especially on a bad day, makes me feel like I achieved something. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=njeZ29umqVE

    I suddenly feel so old...hello, everyone, new 'club' member here.

    Hello, everyone!! Well, so here I am. After going through all the stages of "grief", I'm finally at the acceptance stage: I have fibro, and ignoring it for several years hasn't worked to dispel it.
