fibromyalgia symptoms exercise

what are the symptoms of fibromyalgia? how long do you have it? what medicines are used to treat it?

Carpal tunnel maybe for your wrists, fibromyalgia, and/or chronic fatigue syndrome. Could also have hypermobile ligaments causing your joints to be loose and easily sprained. Exercise, though initially making you more tired, is the recommended treatment for fribromyalgia as well as fatigue. Try putting warm hydrotherapy on your wrists for 10 minutes and then stretching them after for at least 30 seconds to see if that helps.

I have had most of your symptoms at one time or another - so I guess it "could" be Fibromyalgia. I do get involuntary contractions in my muscles, but I'm not really sure if that happens w/ FM. Fibromyalgia still remains a mystery to me. While I am glad I have a dx. to go with my symptoms and receive treatment for them, I have the gut feeling that there is something else lurking. I had also been labled w/ possible Lupus and possible Mixed Connective Tissue Disease in the past.

Hi there. Emotional and physical triggers can cause a flare in fibromyalgia symptoms. A flare is usually accompanied by constant pain and lethargy. You might find difficulty to sit, stand or lie for even some time. the triggers known are strong emotions like depression and anger or stress, too much exercise, beginning of an illness, cold,damp weather or extreme heat, any stress on body. That noisy neighbor could affect your health indirectly by causing anger or stress in you. Hope this helps.

I have been diagnosed with fibromyalgia. But also my doctor said that my vitamin D level was low so she put me on 50,000 units of it. I was wondering could my vitamin D level being low have anything to do with my fatigue and flu-like feeling? What are the usual symptoms of vitamin D level being low????

I was wondering if you could tell me anything that would help with my fibromyalgia symptoms. Some of my symptoms include: severe fatigue, severe pain and muscle soarness, headache, flu - like feeling all the time.

I have Fibromyalgia also and a lot of the same symptoms. My neck and shoulders ache and feel like they are dragging me down. My legs feel so heavy and tired I prefer stairs to a grade or slant. Exercise is at a minimum - it can tear the muscles and jangle the nerves. You should exercise for about 5 minutes three times a day. When you stretch, hold the muscles for 5 -10 seconds and stop exercising before you feel pain. Gentle exercise is best for Fibromyalgia.

One of them is exercise. Fibromyalgia pain is muscle pain and the most important therapy for muscle pain is regular, gentle and low-impact exercise. It keeps muscles conditioned and healthy and decreases the amount of discomfort. It is very important to try low-stress exercises such as walking, swimming, water aerobics, and biking rather than straining exercises such as weight training. Heavy exercises worsen the symptoms.

ve always had symptoms of fibromyalgia but never real bad but after I got that Sinus Infection my symptoms of FM became Severe. I also have a family history of Fibromyalgia, my Father, Aunt, and first cousin has it. My symptoms are so severe that my doctor had to put me off of school ,and on to homebound, where a teacher comes out to my house and brings me work twice a week.

I have all the pain pressure points and patches of hypersensitive, burning skin of fibromyalgia but some of the other symptoms could be either/or. Muscle weakness, tiredness, sleep problems, diarrhea, and foggy brain. A couple of months ago I noticed my legs getting weaker. And they would shake when I tried to get up from a sitting or squatting position. Then I started to hurt all over, my appetite disappeared, and I couldn't sleep.

Exercise is one of the best remedies for fibromyalgia pain. weaning off the norco will be more mental than anything, but restless legs and generalized pain are some symptoms of decreasing the dose.

I am a 22 year old female and after doing a bit of research it sounds as though I have several symptoms that occur under fibromyalgia. I have had throughout my entire life a bizarre amount of muscle problems and pain. In recent times (last 5-6 months) I have had occasions where my body and skin hurts so much that even my shirt is hurting it. This isn't an everyday, or even every week, event but it has happened probably 5 or 6 time.

Hi, We're not quite sure what I've got, though it looks like an autoimmune disorder. For the last 3 weeks I've been running a fever of about 100.2 without any other symptoms, just increased chest pain and joint pain (the chest pain I've been having for a year, the joint pain on and off since December). Does anyone know if it's okay to exercise when you have an autoimmune-related fever, and in general, an autoimmune disease?

I have now seen the rheumatologist and have been diagnosed with fibromyalgia can any advise me as to what help I can get as some days these pains can be life limiting am finding it hard to even peel potatoes need advice thanks

Chronic fatigue syndrome, mental stress are few conditions which can mimic fibromyalgia. Muscle weakness, pain ,burning pain and fatigue are few of the common symptoms of fibromyalgia. Medications like Duloxetione, pregabalin and Milnacipram have been approved for treating fibromyalgia.Duloxetine, Lyrica, and milnacipran are medications that are approved specifically for treating fibromyalgia. The goal of treatment in this condition is to improve sleep and pain tolerance.

Had no trauma or surgeries, exercise did aggrivate it. The symptoms in my arm have been there since oct-nov in Jan went to see orth and said I had an old pinched nerve and winged scapula. Did PT and pain lessen but never went away. The new onset of the new pains has been for a week, had to stop exercising, but started the PT excercises again. My sister has fibromyalgia, is thes something that is inherited? Will see my orth in about a week.

I suffer deep muscle pain in my left leg. First the pain began behind the knee and calf muscle now it's my thigh. It was so bad last night I screamed from the pain and my daughter wanted to call 911. It lasted a longer time it was like a huge charley horse in my thigh. And after walking about it finally stopped but was still sore. Today it isn't like that intense pain but still hurts. I am a type II diabetic who works at exercising and my daughter thinks that maybe I over did it.

That helps to stretch the muscles and get them moving without spasms and rebound pain. - Swimming, I think is the best exercise for Fibromyalgia.

ve only been diagnosed for about 4 years but after years of being told it was either all in my head or the doctors ruling out every other ailment( and I do have others),the symptoms they used to diagnose the fibromyalgia are the same ones I've had my whole life. Weird, same symptoms, only now they believe me and give it a name. Doctors@#$!@#%$%$%^!!!! Anyway,since it does run in my family and I suspected all along that I had it, I've been able to do lots of research.

Individualized exercise and nutrition programs are very important to relieve many of the symptoms of Fibromyalgia. A moderate daily exercise program is necessary to improving muscle fitness, reduce muscle pain and tenderness, increase circulation, promote better sleep and for stimulate the body to produce endorphins, a natural painkiller. Proper diet plays an important role in relieving FM symptoms. Please avoid high fat foods and eat plenty of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, beans and nuts.

I used to do one hour of exercise at the gym 3 times a week and now can hardly do 30 minutes. My muscles feel extremely weak like I have been exercising hard. Now I've developed terrible tinnitus in both ears. I also have fibromyalgia so there's the kicker but didn't have to take any pain medicine when I was on thyroid. I'm a RN, if I had a patient with these symptoms I'd try to help her discuss these with her doctor. What do I do?

I have tender points ALL over my body. My Dr says it's not Fibromyalgia. The spots don't hurt unless they're pressed on, then they feel like bruises (but nothing is there) My tinder points don't match the Fibromyalgia points, and I have about10 times the number of spots that are on the picture. Also from knees down almost ALL of the muscles hurt to touch, not just spots) There's no rash or fever that I'm aware of. This has been going on for years. Any thoughts????

The symptoms of fibromyalgia are very similar to thyroid symptoms. In fact, some people believe fibromyalgia is more often than not simply undiagnosed or undertreated hypothyroidism under a different name. It sounds to me that you are very much under medicated for hypothyroidism. In my experience, once my thyroid symptoms subsided with proper medication, my cholesterol went back down to normal as well.

I know exercise is very important for people with fibromyalgia and I try to stay as active as I can but it is getting more and more difficult. They symptoms I have are heart palpatations, body aches and pains, irritable bowel, stomach upset, headaches and lately when I am finished walking and shower and then rest for a bit I can hardly walk as my feet, heels, and ankles hurt so badly it takes me 10 to 15 minutes to get going again.
