Hi all,
I hope you are well. I have been finding myself upset and frustrated as doctors, strangers, friends, and family give me repetitive and unsolicited advice. This includes but is not limited to: ibuprofen, dieting (i have ibs i already do), exercise (i already do), and physical therapy.
My body rejected Cymbalta and now all anyone will suggest is exercise. Exercise has not worked for me (even when I keep it up for months+), and results in more fatigue and decreased functionality for me. Everyone keeps telling me to go to physical therapy, so I wanted to ask other people with fibro if it's really worth it? Is physical therapy helpful for fibro, coming from actual people with fibro rather than doctors who scoff at me and look at me like I'm crazy.
Please let me know if you all find it helpful, or for those who didn't what may have been more helpful against the pain?
