Fibromyalgia is a musculoskeletal disorder where there is pain spread throughout the body along with accompanying sleep, fatigue, memory, and mood issues. Living with this disorder can be a struggle on a daily basis which is why you should consider every available option and treatment method.

Exercise and activity are one of the most beneficial things that can be done when living with fibromyalgia because they can help decrease the symptoms significantly. It is a good idea to consult a medical professional before beginning any exercise. Under the supervision of a medical professional such as a physical therapist, light aerobic exercises including resistance training can be extremely beneficial to reducing pain and inflammation due to Fibromyalgia. One of the biggest tips for beginning to exercise with fibromyalgia is to start slow. Fibromyalgia can make exercise painful; starting to move is progress in itself. Also, making sure you stretch before you exercise as well as listening to you body is extremely important.  If you are just starting out, you will feel very sore at times and you will want to avoid overexerting yourself.

Consulting a physical therapist is a great place to start because they can help give you exercises that will help manage pain as well as help design a program for you. Another thing you can do to live comfortably with fibromyalgia is to make sure you are getting enough sleep as fibromyalgia can really throw off your sleep patterns. Sticking to a regular wake-up time and fall asleep-time will help combat these issues. You should also have a relaxing routine before bed and cut out any caffeine before bed as well. Maintaining a balanced diet, can also help with the inflammatory pain fibromyalgia symptoms causes as well as has many benefits for your overall health.

I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia around 6 years ago although I'm certain I have had it much longer than that. I have suffered from sleeplessness, joint stiffness, severe pains, depression and fatigue. My neurologist prescribed duloxetin 40mg daily (Given as 20mg twice daily), although it did relieve some of the pain, I still suffered from joint stiffness and extreme fatigue. Finally, i started on Fibromyalgia herbal formula i ordered from NewLife Herbal Clinic, this herbal formula did the magic! almost immediately i started usage, i started noticing a general reduction of symptoms including the very severe pains and fatigue. 9 weeks into usage, the disease has totally succumbed to this herbal treatment. The whole pains and terrible fatigue has seized and i am now able to function fully well again. (Visit www .newlifeherbalclinic . com or email info@ newlifeherbalclinic . com) I'm able to get out of bed in the morning and have more energy to go about my daily activities.
