Hi all,

new to group I have been diagnosted with fibro in 1993.

It has been manageable so far coping with aleve and exercise, however, this flareup has been recent I had to bury our dog(the dog died in my arms)I could not afford a vet disposal I had to bury a hole three feet deep and two feet wide, needless to say Friday was difficult, I took a few days off and worked out sunday, then a little today. My knees feel really stiff and I feel so slow...Is this normal??

Yes it is normal to feel that way after all the exercising and then the emotional trauma itself will cause you to feel to beat.

I'm really glad you found us! Thats amazing that you treat your fibromyalgia with Aleve and exercise! You might be the first person I have heard of taking this approach.

I appreciate the quick response I am so glad I found this forum!!! and yes I think I overdid it there is one thing I learned from this listen to my body, it tries to do what I want, however I am so glad I have learned to listen to it, if nothing else I think people that have this dis-order NOT DISEASE, know our bodies better than any one! again thanks,

Patricia

I did not mean to offend anyone, so many dr`s call it a disease, we all know it is a syndrome, it hurt so badley the past two days I took my amyltriptone(SP), that helps me with the fourth stage of sleep, my knees ache and difficult to un-bend them.
