I never understood the concept when my Doctor told me that exercise would be good for Fibromyalgia.

I figured any MORE strain on my muscles would no doubt cause more pain, buring and ache.

Well, since pain medication has not been working and there is so much research on Fibro and exercise..and all the research says exercise helps Fibro...I joined a GYM to give it a try.

I have only been to the gym 2x....I am doing low weight lifting on low resitance equipment (machines vs. lifting free weights).

I went yesterday...and i did not have the same burning, aching pain in my shoulders and hips last night....and this morning I do not have those symptoms.

I believe exercise is really going to help my symptoms and I wanted to share this in case there are other "doubters" out there.

    I did try to do some exercises at home more aimed at muscle tightening but after a few weeks I had to stop I was exhausted but I have a two year old son to run round after and a house to run so I think it was just too much I'm going to try again when my son starts nursery x
