With my fibro I have really bad hip pain I mean very bad. I was wanting to try to lose some weight in hope that would help. I know you have to move to be able to lose weight and that thought made me cry. Well after my sister was dx with cancer I thought it could be something in food (I dont know that). So I started to eat better mostly meats and veg, I eat very little suger and have cut down on soda. I started walking the pain was so bad I walked about 5 mins. Each day I pushed through the pain to add about 1-2 mins. I would just drop when I would get done because of the pain. Well I am happy to say I am down 36 pound and walk 4-6 miles each day. I feel better than I have in years I have to say it has been hard and I cryed but when I cry now it is with Joy I have know pain.
That is wonderful. I am so happy for you. Good job.
Congratulations! That’s wonderful news to share. Keep up the great work.
Best wishes,
Melyn

That is terrific, great job!
Congratulations!!! You are an inspiration. Be well.
Congrats to you, Maggiemay! How long did it take you to work up to 4-6 miles? I ache like crazy and my joints hurt so badly after a walk of about 2 miles.
It is so wonderful to hear about someone getting better. Good for you in taking charge. Were you on meds before? Were you able to come off them? Do you do any other kind of exercise? Very inspirational. Thanks so much for sharing.
I can only walk two miles at a time and I do it three times a day. I will say it took me around two months to be able to walk that. As for Meds all the ones the Dr gave me made me sick so I have only been on the natural med. I really think the eating has also helped me alot. I have read that so many foods can put inflammation in the body. So I am doing very little sugar and have stopped red meats. So with the diet change the walking and weight loss I feel this is helping me alot. I hope if anyone would want to try any of these changes I hope it helps you.
This is great. I am glad you have found some thing that is working for you I hope the days ahead are wonderful for you. Keep us posted.
I am going to try physical therapy next week and hope to come up with a reasonable exercise plan. I actually haven't had formal physical therapy before so this will be new for me.
