Many of the sites make fibro sound worse because they have an agenda, they want you do to their treatment plan or buy their products. When you go to the bonafide medical sites you see that a lot of research IS being done! Just be careful how much you believe on the web....I do not believe Fibro is a death sentence. You hurt because you hurt, that's fibro. However your muscles shorten because you dont use them , you don't use them because it hurts, but they can be re-stretched, and re-strengthened. No actual damage is taking place no matter how much we hurt IF and this is a big IF we continue walking, exercising, and keep our bodies moving. If we choose to live our lives in bed or on the couch so that we dont hurt we will have the damage that comes from joints not working and muscles not being stretched with use. We do have choices, and the choice to keep as healthy as we can is a painful one, but medically speaking if we dont we can ruin our chances at a normal life when we do find the right answer for our fibro condition. gentle hugs and a peck on the cheek,

I dispense advice freely but you should take it with a grain of salt and do your homework and check with your doctor.
He gets paid more so he must know more. Right?
