Exercise is vital to everyone’s health, but when you have Fibromyalgia, exercise seems like a daunting task. The daily pains from Fibro make even the simplest of chores seem overwhelming. How does one make an exercise regimen when just getting up and going is a task all its own?\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

This seems to be a real question and concern for many Fibro sufferers. When I was first diagnosed three years ago my husband bought me an Schwinn Airdyne stationary bike. I began to implement the daily use of this fine piece of equipment, but I struggled.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I struggled because it hurt.<\/p>\n

I mean, really hurt.<\/p>\n

Not muscle hurt.<\/p>\n

But bone hurt and joint hurt.<\/p>\n

And not just as I was using it, but after when I could barely get off of it…<\/p>\n

…And two days later when I could scarcely move.<\/p>\n

If I used it daily, then you realize that means I could barely move every-day.<\/p>\n

I’d like to tell you it’s gotten better.<\/p>\n

It hasn’t.<\/p>\n

I walk when weather allows and I walk more than I ride the bike because\u00a0I’m not giving up. Joint and bone pain seems to be my daily companions but I still need to keep my heart healthy.<\/p>\n

So if my body says I can walk, I walk. If it thinks I can bicycle, I ride.\u00a0 And if I cannot do either that is okay, right?<\/p>\n

Of course, right!<\/p>\n

I refuse to give up! Fibromyalgia gives me pain on top of pain every day, but it cannot rob me of me.<\/p>\n

And it tries to….<\/p>\n

…Every-single-moment-of-every-single-day.<\/p>\n

I choose to fight!<\/p>\n

Do you?<\/p>\n

Gentle hugs –<\/p>\n
