Can People with Fibromyalgia Exercise?

I went to water physical therapy and realized how much more movement I had in water. I have very low motivation so it was difficult to make it to every appointment but when I was done there I started using the pool at the local ymca. It's very relaxing, I personally can swim on good days and on bad days I just do some water walking or don't go. I highly suggest trying out getting in some water and get your body moving a little.

Very slowly but it took me years

I work with my limitations. Mostly the easiest thing for me to work with is walking. I will walk about a mile and then rest for a few days, and when I feel better again i will do it again. Gets you moving and is relatively low impact.

I've heard time and time again that yoga is the best.

I use a gazelle, it's a very gentle workout, on my better energy days I do 30 mins and it really helps with my pain and mental health. On my less good days I do 10 mins and see how I feel and if I can I do another 10, etc. When I can't use it at all I try to get seated stretching in.

I used to. Now it's nearly impossible. If you find something that works please share.

I try to do a little yoga laying down or sitting.. but I can’t do much because I get super dizzy, lightheaded and my chest starts to hurt when I’m doing anything really active
