Hi Gloria,
That's a good question. Unfortunately there is no answer to it, it's what FM does to you.
The only thing you can do is try to manage your pain.
I had the good fortune to go on a pain management course where we learn had to help ourselves.
Basically you pace yourself.
Start with just 5 minutes of work followed by 5 minutes of rest, if you pain increased reduce time working to 4 minutes of ok increase to 6 minutes of work.
It might seem ridiculous just 5 minutes but by adjusting up and down you will find a level that works for you.
AND THAT'S THE IMPORTANT THING!
good luck and be nice to yourself
Steve
