One of the exacerbating problems that comes with fibromyalgia stress is insomnia. Even though you feel very tired, it can be hard to sleep through the pain. Exercise, which promotes healthier muscles and a wider range of motion, also brings the benefit of more restful sleep. Sleeping better will mean that you’ll start feeling better which will encourage you to exercise more. You don’t want to overdo it, though. Too much exercise too fast is going to result in pain and discourage you from exercising at all. You can start by doing some walking. It’s likely that you’ve been finding walking to be more than you can handle these days, so start by setting small goals. The first day you can try to walk 2 minutes. Once that becomes comfortable, try to walk for three. This is a case where slow and steady does win the race!
