I know the treatment options for FM vary a lot, and am wondering if anyone has found help with either yoga or tai chi?
Even with this most recent flare of fibro, with a painful episode of costochondritis, I am trying to find other treatment options that are more naturopathic.
For me fatigue has been the most challenging symptom, and the older I get, the more often I must rest-not just sit in a chair, but rest laying down in bed.
I definitely slow down as the day progresses, so I make the most of what little energy I have in the morning.
I have other health issues that cause fatigue, so it's just a matter of what level of fatigue I deal with, which varies from day to day.
Some days are better than others for sure.
Oh, something that has made a difference for me regarding fatigue, is following the suggestion of my cardiologist to go gluten free.
There are 2 blood tests that are markers of inflammation-sed rate, and CRP. After I went gf, both tests came back normal for the first time in forever.
Sometimes I do eat gluten, and I can tell the difference; for me, it is worth the effort to be as gluten free as possible.
