Identify the stresses and strains in your life so that you can learn to face them or cope with them. Eat healthy and lose the flab. Exercise and strengthen your body. Research has confirmed that aerobic exercise improves fitness and reduces pain and fatigue in people with fibromyalgia. Aerobic exercise means doing enough to get you breathing heavily and your heart beating faster.
Swimming is one of the best forms of exercise for fibromyalgia.
Many people who have not learned to swim find the effort to do so is well worthwhile. Don't be over-ambitious about your progress. Slow and steady is better. If you feel that walking down the road is more than you can manage, start by counting the houses you pass each day and after some time you will find you're counting the streets. So build up your exercise at a rate you can cope with - some each day.
