I have fibro that is mostly controlled with magnesium. But the flare ups are very uncomfortable. I went to a retreat last year and I just got up from my chair (I took my own) and went to iron, see what everyone else was working, chit chat, or just took a walk. Also went to my room earlier than most in the evening. It was fun and I didn't suffer too much. However, my commute was only about 10 minutes!
