Do you Suffer With Fibromyalgia? Stretch! Stretch! Stretch!

Dear Fibro Friends,

It’s July! It’s summer! One would think the stiffness from Fibromyalgia

would be less painful with the warmer weather! Think again.  Numerous Fibro

sufferers feel as though their limbs are swollen. The body part actually turns red!

We still do not understand why. But I can tell you without hesitation stretching

the limb or your entire body WILL help you to become more flexible and in doing so Will lessen your pain!

Our bodies were created to move!  Stretching helps the blood flow into your limbs, increasing circulation. This is a good thing!  If you keep up on your stretching your body will thank you! Your flexibility will improve!  The walk to opposite side of the house will become easier.

Stretch Gently and Slowly.  No body building endurance exercises needed.  Be Positive! Yes it will hurt. 

But you will increase your ability to move again!    

Upon completion of your stretches, reward yourself with a cool drink.  I mix cran-raspberry and orange juices together for a delightful fresh thirst quenching beverage.  As always Water is the beverage of choice. Drink a cold one J  Good luck to you!

Your Fibro Friend,

Cheryl
