All...yes...FM is bad. There are somedays I have a hard time trying to understand what my body is trying to tell me. FM seems to be an ever changing disorder with so many environmental influences that it is really hard to get a handle on. My Rhuemy insists that I start exercising also...recommended yoga, pilates, tai chi, etc. She stated she does want me to work my muscles just stretch them at least 4 days a week. On amazon, there are 2 yoga dvds specifically design for FM patients. I have both but only tried one of them. So far it is not bad at all. I am glad that I too found this board and have people who understand what I am going through to talk too. Don't know about most, but my family really does try to understand and they do to a point. They just can't completely cause they aren't going through it. So I just wanted to say THANK YOU TO EVERYONE ON THIS BOARD. THERE ARE SOMEDAYS I JUST DON'T THINK I COULD MAKE IT ANOTHER MINUTE IF IT WAS NOT FOR THIS BOARD AND ALL THE WONDERFUL PEOPLE HERE.
