I have had fibromyalgia/chronic fatigue since 1999. What can I do for the pain - constant since 6/09?

Exercise has been shown to reduce the pain associated with fibromyalgia. Start at an appropriate level for your body and experience. Something easy like stretching and walking is a good place to start, but if this is too easy for you, running, swimming, biking or weightlifting are also good options.

Ease into it though. Once you've got an exercise plan going, feel free to experiment with new options. Also keep in mind that this will not give you instant relief, in fact you will likely have increased soreness for a short period of time while your body gets used to the exercising.

Luckily this will go away in a week or two and you should experience decreased pain and fatigue. Another thing you could try is fish oil. Fish oil has been shown to reduce inflammation and should help with the pain.It also helps supply your brain with necessary fatty acids which should help with the fatigue.

After a few weeks of these, if you are doing ok, consider trying a low-carb diet to help with the fatigue and inflammation. Try the diet for 30 days and see how you feel. You should have less pain and more energy.

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.
