i have been dealing with fibromyalgia for 12 years. my personality is one that wants to go-go-go. i don't like to miss anything. but i have to say it doesn't work like that now. i require frequent rests and a day that is very low stress. i knew i couldn't continue to work as a nurse while i was dealing with pain and overwhelming fatigue. be good to yourself. the best exercise for me is swimming which i can't do this time of year. i have a great stationary bike to use in the winter. don't worry about exercise every day. when you are feeling rough relax with a book or movie. anytime i have felt like i needed to keep pushing through it has only caused me more pain and agony. hang in there god bless you!
is it safe to "push through" fibromyalgia pain? . every time i even attempt to do any sort of exercise the pain doesn't really allow me to do anything. i used to be an athlete many years ago and i would just push through the pain or keep going until the pain went away. i haven't been able to work for years since my accident and fibromyalgia and it is very frustrating. . i am wondering if i can do any damage to my body if i push through the pain? . is it safe to force my body to work through the pain and attempt exercise?
