Thanks for all the help offered re my CFS and fibro. Some of it I’ve already tried, some I’m going to try, and some I’ve tried and discarded as not suitable for me, boohoo! Thanks to those who suggested exercise, I’m jealous, but so pleased it worked for you. I tried it a few years ago, worked up to 30 minutes exercise a day, then did 30 seconds one day and collapsed. To cut a long story short, I spent best part of the next 2 years bedridden. And my doctor spent best part of that 2 years apologising for suggesting the exercise program! So now it’s very gentle exercise only, walking and stretching/warming-up exercises only. But mostly I can deal with it all, and live a good life, (not sure that *good* is the right word there, *bad* maybe? Or just plain old *wicked*, haha), and it’s just when I have a relapse that it gets on top of me. But have I ever told you that my gorgeous DH has the wackiest sense of humor!!! And he just has this way of making me laugh. But I really miss my *Cute* family when I can’t get here, and love you all so much. I’ll pop back whenever I can – so be *good*. Love, hugs and flowers for you all.

Ruthie Darling I wish there was more I could do for you. You have been a Blessing to this group. We will look forward to your occassional posts. Rest plenty and keep laughing. Just don't leave us ok. We Miss you heaps.

You take care Ruthie .You are loved by all

I can assure U dear Ruthie the feeling is certainly mutual. When love reaches out it's like throwing a pebble n a pond the ripples go on & on & on. *4U

You brighten up this site whenever you are on. Love your sense of humour. Stay well. *4U

Oh Ruthie, dear one - so glad to hear from you - we miss you greatly - but will settle for an occasionally post - now! Tell you sweet and wacky husband to continue keeping you laughing. We thank him for that. Smile as often as you can. We adore you!

I didn't mean to scare you with exercise. I am 65 and can't do any cardio any more, can't do step(gets knees) or kick box (gets hips),Can't do and jump exercises (gets bladder). I love strength training with weights and presently taking a pilates class that I love. I spent too many hours at the embroidery machine yesterday and had a total relapse with neck and back. A jolt for my memory of the pain of Fibromyalgia. Be positive and go easy with walking and stretching.
