I, too, have FMS in addition to ARD and OA and RA, etc. Sure exercise would help, hard to do when you can barely move, huh?
I try and my husband is very patient and loving. My internist is willing to go the extra mile and give me the pain meds and muscle relaxants I need just to be able to do what little I can do. So, I guess I'm blessed in that way.
Hang in there...just know you are not alone.
God's blessings, kcmo rose
