I would like to highly recommend that you don't let the Physical therapists push you too hard - many physical therapists don't understand that most people with fibro need to do about half or less of what most people can do - just listen to your body and be nicely adamant about not doing too much if it's making you hurt more! You may get very tired after your appointments - but if you can keep it up I highly recommend you do - just don't let them push you too hard. I've really had the best luck with therapy in a nice warm therapy pool - well, I'll be back again - gotta scoot for now take care and I wish you the best with this. Reducing stress is also helpful - that and lots of hot baths!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03745918161344486602noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8101990184003771096.post-62061580329709538312010-01-07T08:32:17.712-08:002010-01-07T08:32:17.712-08:00Thanks to both of you for stopping by this blog.

I too experienced the many false thoughts from docs and was thankful for one giving me the right diagnosis. <br /><br />I like your comment in your profile "I'm a bit hyper and some would call me anal in my need for organization. I love bright colors and interesting textures. I enjoy being alone or just spending time with my husband. I am not into crowded rooms or loud music but appreciate meaningful songs and one good friend." that is so me too - right to a t<br /><br />Thanks for sharing and I will watch this blog for sureJudy aka Red Crowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02967196364203450990noreply@blogger.com
