Sandi, I tend to believe it was the fibro. kicking in while holding your grandson. Before this crazy fibro., I had no problem carrying around things or holding things for a long time. And, I know I didn't have an exercise routine at that time. I was always active, but I didn't do any kind of strength training. Lack of exercise did not keep me from holding my children when they were little. However, after fibro. hit, it immediately kept me from doing these things. It wasn't even like I just gradually got out of shape and couldn't do them anymore - it was immediate for me. My arms will burn and tingle. Then if I keep pushing, they will feel like they are going limp. Just no strength left. I can't hold onto things at this point. I have broken many dishes due to this problem  . I do try to exercise some each day now, just because I'm not as active as I used to be. But I have to be careful not to over do it. Don't know if this applies to you, but maybe it will help a little. |
"All I can say is that this has been the best place ever. It has been six to seven months since I joined, and I have learned so much. I now believe in myself and accept myself on a completely different level. The people on MDJunction has been so supportive and accepting that I have been able to adopt it into my personal life. That has reduced a lot of stress in my life. Thanks to all." (bunnyfly)
