Hi fibromyalgia is an auto immune condition where you have more pain sensitivity and delayed recovery. This pain injury cycle affects the quality of life. My recommendations identify the issue with your gut and work on it. A functional medicine practitioner would be able to help you. Take an anti inflammatory diet rich in omega 3, cruciferous vegetables, cooked greens. Limit fruit sugars, gluten, diary and corn. To determine your food tolerance you can take the help of your fm practioner. Move frequently and mindfully throughout the day instead of packing one gym session and not recovering from it for the next 4 days. Add breathing practices 3 to 4 times per day to calm your sympathetic system. Keep your movements mild to moderate get atleast 15 to 30 min of sun light per day. You can take 3, 5 min walk outdoors and slowly build on it to make it 3 10 min walks check you vit d3 and serum b12 levels. Sleep for 8 to 9 hours and practice good sleep hygiene. Managing an autoimmune is making small and sustained changes in your life.
