Do you think anything you can do that is peaceful, and relaxing has to be good for you unless you have an allergy! Bless you

I am 16,with FM and I have been working and riding with horses since I was 8. It hurts. I cant event and I have to stick to dressage and riding quite horses, but I figure FM already takes too much fun out of life for it to effect what you really enjoy. Sure, you pay for it (pain wise), but would you rather be confided to only doing the easy things? Go for it... and dont let FM ruin your life.

B4 FM I rode no problems, now I take it easy, trails and pleasure. Tried English lessons again but couldn't take it. Do what you can, even if it means just hanging around the barn, grooming, or whatever you can do. Modification is key to me living w/FM.

I own 16 horses. and my problems do not come from my FM. it comes from the disc decentagration in my lower back.

In fact i have found that the more active i am the more it helps even if i am in extreme pain. when i stop moving is when i start having troubles.

No tonight i cant sleep due to the nice little nerve ending tingling and the restlessness.

I was sick today from an allergic reaction to a new med they put me on.

if you look around you should be able to find a place where you can take lessons w horses and if you do a simple beginner lesson you should be ok, even just going out and helping brush the horses should help you relax and at least have a moment of peace.
