This is so reassuring to hear, not that I want people to be in pain, but to know that I am not alone. I am the only one I know IRL that has fibro (except for maybe my dad) and no one seems to understand. My mom's philosophy is that if I just did MORE, went to the gym more, etc. I would feel tons better b/c that's what works for her. I did 15 min. in the pool last week and literally could not walk by dinner time. It's good to know I'm not crazy, lazy, or just making things up. I really do hurt more if I do too much! DUH! I always thought that to be the case, but with everyone telling me otherwise it was hard to truly believe it.
