Fibromyalgia
Joyce,
Yes, Fibromyalgia definitely disturbs sleep. Do I think that it contributes to FMS or does FMS contribute to it? Who knows, it's like what came first, the chicken or the egg? I totally agree with the need to keep moving. The most I'm at rest before sleep is the hour or two before bed when I lay and read, otherwise, it's very difficult for me to remain sitting for long.
Weight training is a definite plus and you may very well be able to build up to more ... but allow your body to be the barometer.
I'm still not sure how much this low carb eating has helped the FMS but I'm definitely less stiff on waking and I'm truly not experiencing the kind of pain I used to. The most astonishing part of this for me is the increased energy. In fact, it may be contributing to my difficulty falling asleep at a reasonable hour, or it may just be the summer hours I'm keeping. But so far, I'm more than pleased with not having the constant pain and accompanying fatigue.
