Ive been diagnosed with fibromyalgia recently after several very unpleasant and painful episodes during which I could hardly walk, let alone run. Im drinking medications and have to take care about myself more than I used to. Doctors advised me to practice moderate physical activity. Im an avid runner, and I dont know how this syndrome will affect my running. Anybody with the same problem?

Fibromyalgia is a chronic syndrome and it can be very painful. There have been certain researches proving that its a genetically predisposed disorder. It can, of course, affect your running when one of more severe episodes occurs, but I dont think that running can deteriorate your condition. Those mild physical exercises can be carried out at a rehab centre under the supervision of a specialist. They can also tell you how to plan your running in order not to tire your muscles too much. I also believe that in certain cases, running can ameliorate the state by activating and exercising groups of affected muscles and joints. Anyway, together with medications and physical therapy I think that you will feel much butter.

Posted: 10/03/08 - 15:28 Post subject: Fibro and exercise
I was diagnosed in June with Fibro, and it has effected all my physical activity. I feel better when I run, just not a day or two after. On good days, if you are like me, you feel like you can keep running just a little bit more. Then this causes bad days...I am still trying to figure out the balance of it all. Should have any useful wisdom to pass along, it would be much appreciated. I discovered diet and supplements make a difference, meat aggravates mine (especially red meat). I have found a couple of really useful books along the lines of diet and Fibro, but not much on exercise. They all just say, "stay as active as possible".
HELP, totally frustrated and confused here
