Since it is so important for us to exercise with this illness I was wondering: What kind of exercises do you do? (Ex: yoga, tai chi, etc)

I have tried the water arobics too, I also find them the most tolerable form of exercise, especially Iae chi. Pardon the spelling, it is the water form of tae chi.

Exercise Helps??

A MyFibroTeam Member asked a question πŸ’­
Edmonton, AB

I am curious... Whenever I excercise and move a bit more, my pain is extreme for days and days. I am wondering does it happen to others? Doctors keep telling me "keep exercising it will help". But I am always in pain and it feels worse after.

I am wondering is it me or are there others like me?

I feel like the doctors don't believe me. I used to bike, swim, skate, rollerblading, walking and I was doing well until I got FM.

When I exercise I always feel better for a few hours. Then the pain hits, and it's bad. Sometimes I have gone into a flare. Sometimes not. It just depends on how I'm feeling before I start exercising.
