It's been a journey for sure, before I was diagnosed I could barely walk, couldn't make a fist, couldn't lift my arms, DH had to help me dress and put on my shoes! Thank goodness for modern medicine and the advances in rheumatology, I am like a normal person with only a few aches and pains every now and then. Still have to keep active!

Fibro Pain-relief Exercise and Diet
Hello all. I was formally diagnosed with fibro in 2007, but my docs (holistic MD) and fibro MD, after extensive interviews and questionnaires) determined I've had the syndrome since I was six years old. I am now 53. Back in the day, this type of pain was labeled as 'growing pains'. I also have a host of other 'character building' diagnoses:
My method of addressing these challenges is to focus on the top two issues causing me problems each day. The ADD is an added layer of difficulty regarding consistency for the fibro and compulsive overeating. It is tough for me to stick with an eating approach for any length of time: I get overwhelmed by all the available choices. Re: the fibro, I use the Classical Stretch workouts and Margaret Richard light weight, hi rep weight works which are performed without stress on the joints. For intense pain, I combine Classical Stretch with a light setting on my TreadClimber. I have requested Wendy change my user id to CS_Margaret_Fan. I cannot do Cathe videos right now, and I have quite a few. |
