For years I’ve battled with fibromyalgia. I know people struggle to understand why exercise is the only thing that helps me physically & mentally, it beats any medication the doctors prescribed me.

What is fibromyalgia?

Fibromyalgia is often triggered by a stressful event, including physical or emotional stress. I had an emergency operation 7 years ago, i had to have my o***y & fallopian tube removed. After it, I experienced nearly every fibromyalgia symptom but worst is the severe muscle/body pain (think of the pain from exercising x 100 all over your body), I struggled to stay awake (i fell asleep on a treadmill 🙈), I struggled to sleep, memory like a goldfish, zero concentration… the list goes on but I couldn’t let it beat me as i have kids & a job.

A few weeks ago, I pulled my intercostal muscle so i’ve been unable to exercise. This has totally set me back, every part of my body is agony, worst fatigue ever, restless, I could easily hide away…. it’s a horrible place to be. I had admit defeat today & get pain relief for it today from the doctors until my injury eases off & I can get back into a routine of exercising

If you suffer fibromyalgia, you’ll know exactly what this feels like. Try exercising, even on the days when you feel like you’ve been hit with a bus, TRY. Yes, i know exercising can be sore but not as sore as it feels when your daily nothing plus the happy endorphins from exercising help MASSIVELY. It doesn’t take the pain away but it helps knowing your sore from exercising, the fatigue isn’t as bad.

This isn’t a sympathy post, Im hoping if i can help one other person with fibromyalgia take that leap of faith/courage to include exercising into there daily/weekly routine.

Also, i can’t thank for my vitamin b12 injections, these really help with the fatigue.

I’m always here for anyone that’s struggling to try exercising.

Happy Easter Everyone 🐣
