Help My Hurt

by Marijke Durning, RN on July 15th, 2008

I know many people with fibromyalgia like to see what news is “out there” in terms of educating others about their misunderstood disease.

What do you think about the article?

I’ve always liked CNN medical reports. I thought this was informative and interesting. I can almost hear Anderson Cooper’s voice doing a special on fibromyalgia!

As someone with fibromyalgia for over 10 years, I read this article with interest. However, I disagree with the doctor’s suggestion that it is caused, in part, from a lack of exercise. Until about a year before I was diagnosed, I was a very active individual. Post-diagnosis, I gradually returned to exercise and I now work out at least 2 days a week, hike, snowshoe, walk, bike etc.
