Re: Fibromyalgia - a Review of Recent Discoveries

Thanks for putting in a plug for learning to do good stretching.
The books I mentioned can help, but I mainly suggest the
"Trigger Point Self-Care Manual". There's a muscle dealt with
in there that I had not known how to deal with other than by point
pressure with a pencil eraser..

and if you live with CMPD, you better know how to slow down, stretch wisely
and slowly, and learn to recognize Trigger points and what they do, how to
ease them up, and keep them from interfering with your life. I live it
daily. no, the painis still ther cuz it is. you learn to deal with it,
well at least i have... i may have fibro and cmpd, but they don't have me!!

oh, and you can not count on anyopne being able to get rid of trigger
points, unless you are in charge of how they manipulate them, i don't care
if they **do say** they are trained in myofascial release and trigger point
therapy. took me 9 years to find someone who listened to me and worked
**with** me. but that PT closed, so i'm back to using my tennis ball and
cane to hit the spots. so yes, YMMV with therapists

Margo, do you feel that a fecal reference has to accompany
each of your comments? Still burning from your "scatalogical
reference" debacle?
No, getting over FMS is not just a matter of will and exercise, and I
have never said that. I have also noted that it's unlikely for only
FMS to exist. Even if the comorbid condition is something so
physically invisible as PTSD.
And you're welcome to tell me what you think I must know, but
that doesn't make it so. ANY PWFMS THAT CAN GET UP TO
GO TO THE BATHROOM IS EXERCISE TOLERANT.
Starts with passive range of motion, then active ROM, incorporating
stretches, extending the muscle groups for maximum EXTENSION,
which facilitates elimination of muscle metabolites and delivery of
oxygenated blood.
Does that sound like I think everyone should be on the treadmill?
Nope. Walking is a pretty dismal activity for someone that needs
to be stretching muscles and working against disuse atrophy.

For those that think there might be a way to improve their level
of activity, I suggest "Stretching for Dummies", with copies on
eBay, or "Trigger Point Self-Care Manual", by the coauthor of
"Trigger Point Therapy for Myofascial Pain".

Or you could take Margo's lead and decide there's no point.

Michael, there are people who would love to consider that alternative,
but FMS is rarely the only factor. And even when it is, many PWFMS are
exercise _intollerant_, as I'm sure you know.
