How should I stretch before and after exercising if I have fibromyalgia?

If you have fibromyalgia, begin and end each exercise session with 10-15 minutes of stretching. These exercises are an important way to help prepare your muscles and joints for aerobic exercise. They can also help you wind down at the end of the day before going to bed.

You may want to try these stretches after taking a warm shower. If your muscles are sore when you finish stretching, put a heating pad or a cool pack -- whichever you find most soothing -- over the sorest areas for 10 minutes. Perform each stretch slowly.

Stretch until you first feel the stretching sensation. Then hold the stretch for 5 seconds, relax, and repeat 3-10 times. If your pain levels consistently increase after stretching, reduce the extent of the stretches and review your exercise program with your physical therapist.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
