 [ Symptoms ] is it safe to push through fibromyalgia pain  every time i even attempt to do any sort of exercise the pain does not 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 have not 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 [ Disease ] i have been dealing with fibromyalgia for 12 years my personality is one that wants to go go go i do not like to miss anything but i have to say it does not work like that now i require frequent rests and a day that is very low stress i knew i could not 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 not do this time of year i have a great stationary bike to use in the winter do not 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
