You are still an inspiration! I know how you feel. I can't go as fast as anyone on either side of me, either. I walk as fast as I can and still they are walking faster. I have short legs, but still. You are doing fine and this funk/soreness/doubt will pass. You are doing great! Keep on.

As another Fibromite, I agree completely with what Thumper said. The huge thing is that you’re going anyway … you’re working through/with the aches and pain and I *do* know what incredible strength that takes, both physical and mental. You’re doing amazingly well! :good:

Is there a pool at your gym? I’ve found that the pool is where I need to be most when I’m aching from the combo of FMS & exercise. It doesn’t even have to be a pool heated to where most Fibromites prefer…It just seems to help to be in the water and moving.

Look at the bracelet and remember this: you have FMS; it does not have you. But there are going to be those days and weeks when it feels impossible. That’s just part of the crappy deal.. but you’re doing something about it, you’re working against it and in spite of it, and that’s a lot more than thousands of PWFMS ever try.

This is so hard to have that disorder and do this. I am so impressed by how you are doing, despite the obstacles!

I admire you so much for the hard work that you are putting into this–especially having to fight the Fribromyalgia. My stepmom was diagnosed with it and eventually with lupus and I know how much she hurts and how much of a struggle being active can be.

The hard weeks suck but it’s worth it right?
