Thank you.. so much ❤been scared to exercise because everything seems to flare me or make me have delayed onset pain. My doctor wasn’t comfortable telling me what to do or not do, and I’ve been scared of pain and flares. Now I have fibro diagnosed, and working on others with a rheumatologist to figure out. This helps me know what to start incorporating, how to, how much, everything. If I could give this a million likes I would!! Most helpful comprehensive beginner guide I’ve found ❤

I have fibro, osteoporosis, spinal stenosis and arthritis with increasing pain that disrupts my ability to exercise but I know I need to exercise. I will begin your program and start slowly.

This video is a fantastic help for me! I've tended to unknowingly set the bar way to high and then get discouraged when the inevitable flare occurs (for instance, start 15 min of aerobic exercise 3 times a week and within one month increase to 20 min 5 times a week) . You have given me permission to lower the bar. Thank you!

Sadly, I only have a few productive days per week and need to use cannabis to get through the others. The mind is willing and anxious to do stuff, but the body says no. It sucks.

Highlight here is RPE rate of perceived exertion 95 percent patient fall in moderate category with central sensitization having fatigue depression flare up insomnia ....so here exercises & mind body therapy plays a key role .as a physio i used to do cognitive functional therapy to educate reduce the fear and start with light to moderate intensity as per RPE . So good exercises benefits dr. In india hydrotherapy pool is very very limited ...so i think low intensity exs is preferrable ....

Fibromyalgia is a pathological condition characterized by chronic pain, stiffness, diffuse sensitivity in muscles and joints without any inflammation, disorders in memory, concentration and mental activity. It is not a diagnosis, nor is it a specific disease. It also does not cause damage to some tissues of the body, but 9 out of 10 patients report excessive fatigue and sleep quality disorders. Irritable Bowel Syndrome. This is the reason why it belongs to the category of "chronic pain", in which the patient is in pain without an obvious cause, such as an injury or some other obvious disease or injury. The video and recommendations are perfect what we do to our mother, it hurts but it works. Congratulations once again on the perfect video.

I have suffered for 3o years. I have had to learn to listen to my body. Some people don't have overall pain. Mine is from the tip of my head ti my toes I don't even want to move a to as the pain intensity is through the roof it must take me 30 minutes to get to the toilet. So not all people can even walk are straightened up. I believe I cope with 24-hour pain, but I have tet to meet a person to beat a flare-up. I'm a fraud. I hope this program helps any of you I'm really pleased. The water excise in the hydrotherapy pool is beautiful, but after, say, 3 hours to get out of the pool bang, my body stiffens up really bad and laid up in bed. 3 days. So I plan what I have to do, and then my body says that's. life now as I have got to the disabling stage now. It is one of the most painful hidden illnesses. And after fighting it 30 years all it give me is loneliness. As I don't get out much and I won't even get in to a relationship to be a burden on any one. All the best xxxx

Thank you so much for your videos! The fear of movement, when I have a flare - I was an athlete at a high-level - springboard diver, too, so always comfortable at that level with movement - when inflammation, fatigue, there's a feeling mentally like I can't move that way, though I can, that didn't used to be there - I guess with fatigue that became a learned thought (I had MECFS and Lyme pre or with fibromyalgia) seems both learned, but also connected to inflammation. I sometimes have tried to push but dizziness, rare, but, then I really need rest. And, I feel you understand, thank you!

FM, according to newer studies, seems to point to it being more of an autoimmune disease involving small-fiber neuropathy & CNS inflammation.

I was recently diagnosed with fibromyalgia due to secondary chronic pain. The chronic pain I have comes from a fall I had two years ago in my shower, that fall injured bilateral everything. I couldn’t understand why did I have all the symptoms that fibro has. I have been injured before and never in my life did I feel the way I do now. So I already had injuries everywhere basically and now to find out I have fibromyalgia due to them, helps me understand why I feel the way I do. 😭😭

It's a hard disease to learn to live with but, you can if you get a good dr. Who is knowledgeable in this disease.. they are out there !

But how does a patient for themselves decide if they have fibromyalgia or myofascial pain syndrome (MPS) and need to be referred to a rheumatologist? Where excercise might ease symptoms of fibromyalgia it does the opposite for me so it's better to avoid the excercise. For me this is now permanently damaged muscles on my left side only as it was allowed to effect further up the kinetic chain. I was misdiagnosed for nearly 30 years. It started in my ankle now it's in my knee, thigh, hip, core and lower back. How can the patient easily tell the difference between these two related conditions and know that it's time to be referred to a rheumatologist for a MPS manual exam before permanent damage is caused to a patient that actually has MPS? It's vitally important that patients can decide which they have for themselves so how does a patient know which condition they have?

It is really important that you see a physiotherapist. The physiotherapist will examine your specific situation and tell you what you can and cannot do. These videos are for educational purposes only. Now that you are more knowledgeable about your condition and the types of exercises you could be doing, it will be much easier for you to discuss with your physiotherapist. You will understand what they are saying, and why they are recommending one exercise and not the other one. I think that patients who are more knowledgeable about their options are much better to adhere to the treatment recommendations. That is the ultimate goal of these videos, that you can discuss with your health care professional and be a partner in the decisions.

What exercise can be done if severe orthostatic hypotension is occurring along side the fibromyalgia?

@DrAndreaFurlan 2 жыл бұрын

@jujuapple6706 2 жыл бұрын

What do you recommend for starters if you are exercise intolerant (I had a CVA,CKD and Hypothyroid) and have fear of the pain and fatigue. I just tried water therapy but because of covid I was forced to wear a mask (horrible while trying to do any kind of activity) and I am so sensitive to the smell of chlorine in the closed pool water area. I am also dealing with metabolic syndrome and on many medications.

Does anybody know any safe fibro excersise for weight loss ? Ive always struggled with my weight whether its loosing a bunch or gaining i wanna get to an in-between consistent weight, but fibro and lupus makes exercising difficult due to the pain afterwards

I walk. Strive for 20 miles a week. Been dealing with fibromyalgia forever. I love water aerobics as well. Hope this helps

I really want to believe you. But after about 8 years and loads of books and researches I really don't see how to do something like this. I would have to stop everything to be able to start exercising because no matter what i do always takes about 4 to 5 days to get better. And I mean just walking for 20 min in the supermarket.

Interesting info but please can you explain why migraine is triggered when I do any form of repetitive movement (including work) , making bed rest the only option, often over days but the lasting effects including the flare last much longer? Massage of the areas also induce migraine and symptoms too. Thank you

Dont do what aggravates your body You know it best and have more than likely don just as I have for 30yrs...try and feel whiplash all over my body over and over again exercise is nor the answer ...if you can even walk a little or try to stretch a little some days it's a miracle... I cant rotate my arms and shoulders like this video shows just holding them up most day not doable sorry to sound like debby downer but it doesnt work for me and probably most cfs stuffers...

This is an awful video. Whether intentionally or not they are blaming the person and implying it is their fault. Imagine you do as she says and then end up unable to move or sleep for a week? It's impossible. You might as well say to a person in labour you should exercise to get rid of the pain. Or tell a diabetic to eat sugar and work through the systems it causes. It isn't about 'exercise or workouts'. Its about finding gentle ways to connect to your body. It's about forgiveness and letting go of the things you can no longer do. Not forcing yourself to do something that makes you worse. If your pain is worse after exercise you have done to much and need to reduce what you are doing.
