Hello Peter,
This is Sam from the Healthcare Specialist Team. We answer health and wellness questions on behalf of Rick Kaselj. Thank you for reaching out to us in Lifelong Wellness.
To clarify, are you inquiring about how to manage fibromyalgia? If so, allow me to provide more information regarding this.
Fibromyalgia is a disorder characterized by widespread musculoskeletal pain accompanied by fatigue, sleep, memory, and mood issues. Please note that stretching exercises are helpful when muscles and joints are tight. At first, exercise may increase your pain. But doing it gradually and regularly often decreases symptoms. Good posture and relaxation exercises also are helpful.
In doing the exercises, it is important that you start gradually and do not overwork your muscles as people with fibromyalgia are prone to fatigue.
Meanwhile, there is no definitive cure for fibromyalgia, but more treatment options and clearer diagnostic criteria are now available. Symptoms can improve significantly, as long as the patient follows their treatment plan.
In doing the exercises, it is important that you start gradually and do not overwork your muscles as people with fibromyalgia are prone to fatigue.
In line with that, we advise that you try the exercises in this article instead:
We also suggest that you start with aerobic activities (walking, swimming/water aerobics, running, bicycling, etc.) These activities increase your heart rate and breathing rate, as well as your body temperature so you sweat. These are normal responses to exercise. Typically, aerobic activities lead to the greatest benefits for fibromyalgia symptoms. Think about adding flexibility training and strength training later after your body has adapted to the overall increase in activity.
Here are some articles that you may find informative about your condition:
I hope this answers your concern. If this doesn’t work for your condition, let us know so we can provide a different set of exercises that may suit your capability. Should you need any more assistance, let us know so we can help you with it. Thank you and have a great day!
