Finding the best doctor

If you are looking for a good doctor, using the doctor reports system is a good idea.

in the long run

Well -- in the long run, too much walking really is too much.

I think what happens is this: the exercise is good for the fibro, but bad for the chronic fatigue. So I'm exhausted for the next day or two -- spend too much time inactive as a result - and the lack of exercise resulting from that makes my muscles and joints worse.

I think that's it.

resting

Well, after that huge long walk I felt better - the next morning. But that quickly went away.

It seems what happens is that the chronic fatigue syndrome symptoms set in with too much activity. The muscles and joints feel better - but the exhaustion takes over. So I do less for a day or two - and the muscles and joints feel the pain.

I think not overdoing it is key.

Too much walking

I walked a couple of miles yesterday.

It was very difficult at the time - and I woke up just exhausted this morning. But my shoulders and back feel better today.

Interesting!
