Anyone out there love hiking/kayaking/backpacking etc?
I used to love to be outdoors and very active until I started having health problems at 15. Now, I am 21 and for years have had a sense of identity loss because I have been unable or afraid to do what I once did weekly. I'm trying to get back into it all. But so far I can manage only level short hikes. I'm trying to lift again too, in hopes of gaining back some strength and endurance (although it causes some pain).
If anyone has any tips for doing these sorts of activities with fibromyalgia or how to prepare for setbacks? Or if anyone just wants to discuss these hobbies, I'd love to!
