Fibromyalgia doesn’t have to limit your life. Follow some of these helpful tips from Web MD to improve your symptoms, brighten your mood and keep you living fully and productively.
1) De-Stress Minimizing stress can improve the quality of your life. Try incorporating yoga, exercise and meditation into your life. Be sure to breathe deep and exhale slowly.
2) Jot It Down If “fibro fog” is affecting your memory or focus, keep a pen and paper with you. Make to-do lists to help you remember topics you want to talk to others about.
3) Exercise Regularly Regular exercise, such as warm-water exercise or walking, is one of the best treatments for fibromyalgia. It helps decrease stiffness and pain and reduce stress.
4) Do Some Soaking Soaking in a hot tub or warm bath can reduce pain, relax tense muscles and help you move more easily.
5) Choose Decaf Caffeine may increase stress, stimulate the central nervous system and the heart, and increase nervousness and insomnia. Make sure to go for the decaf in order to de-stress.
