    Hi...I do lots of walking to try and ease the pain, it does not help much just keeps me mobile I guess. I used to attend the gym 4 times a week, but that did nothing at all..

      is that she is very happy in her life shes got great parents a lovely new partner who she is marring in novenber and a 3 week honeymoon to look forward to , stress and unhappiness cripples us all but fibro sufferes really do suffer bad from it.
