Remember. Fibromyalgia is not directly life-threatening. The degree of symptoms may vary greatly from day to day with periods of flares (severe worsening of symptoms) or remission; however, the disorder is generally perceived as non-progressive. It is not a condition that gets worse and worse. But the pain is real and often difficult to treat because the symptoms overlap with other maladies.

The first thing you should do in the morning is exercise, espedially if you are up at the crack of dawn. This is the best time to take a 10 to 15 minute walk. Gradually work up to at least an hour of walking early in the morning for the best results. Exercise will relieve your Fibromyalgia pain, if done on a consisten basis.

Aim For A Low Carbohydrate Diet
