Now I am changing my lifestyle, trying to not go over my limits. I try to keep a routine without pushing myself on a schedule. I take many breaks, I read, play games, brought the Internet, do crochet and try to keep my mind engaged. And when I am really tired or in pain I take a nap. I also try to do light/ moderate exercise 10/15 minutes every day, have a healthy and balanced diet and get enough rest. Now I am doing much better and enjoying life,though I am still very limited. Anyway, I had to give up the idea of having my house pristine (was it ever?).I am finding out that I can live without having everything perfect.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00875010091799662995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5198379419907919214.post-35369051230217452572014-07-18T10:18:04.406-07:002014-07-18T10:18:04.406-07:00I recently had a friend diagnosed with fibro.

While my symptoms are different, I resonated with some of your suggestions. It is so hard learning to say no and change your lifestyle--but so necessary.

He aches and hurts so much but keeps going. It is so hard on him and he is so young (mid 50's). He works hard and like you, has tried every cure known to man. Some things help a little...but nothing has taken the pain away for good. <br /><br />Katyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03118653637763160580noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5198379419907919214.post-31646493814943551962014-07-13T17:06:09.418-07:002014-07-13T17:06:09.418-07:00Those are such wonderful tips.
