Losing weight with Fibro and CFS

Posted , 9 users are following.

I've had fibromyalgia and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome since 2005. I've also had two children in that period of time. I have gained about 50lbs since 2005. I haven't been able to find an excercise that doesn't hurt or cause me to be bedridden for days or even weeks after. Has anyone been able to find a way to lose weight while also having fibromyalgia and CFS?? I would really like to get this weight off and I know it will make me feel a little better.

    Have you tried yoga? Or just walking? Stretching is good to. Iv never actually been dx with fibromyalgia but I know I have it. How does one go about getting your Dr to dx it? Im in US. Everytime I do anything out of ordinary im so sore i can barly walk etc. My upper back around scapula or shoulderblades where trigger points are are always touchy or as of rt now extreme pain level of a 6 on left triggers. Im always touchy.I alwzys have been one to sleep more than everyone else even as a teen. Now im dealing with early menopause (46) an depression and anxiety. I forget things sometimes an think am I getting dementia!! What all around symptoms have any of you had to be dx with fibromyalgia? Thanks. Oh iv been in medical field since 18 an know some about that area. Iv studied on magnesium and how some are low even on bloodtest. Magnesium can effect fibro as well as b vits, gut health (pro biotic). But stretching seems to reall "feel" good to me. Just some thoughts. Thanku an god bless
