I have given up playing solitaire games on the computer and reading quite as many books a week as I used to, but those are not losses, as I have gained a more positive and enjoyable activity and more beneficial interactions here on the board. Because of my fibro and disability, I tend to hermitize so these interactions are very good for me!!! I still read plenty, just not 4 or 5 books a week. LOL
I have also gained the benefit of keeping my creative impulses flowing somewhat, and having to use my brain to figure out blocks, follow patterns, etc. All of which can be tricky when the fibro is fogging me up. The mind exercise is important for all of us with fibromyalgia to keep up .
