Someone already posted a link to a version of the chart. I have

fibro and my pain management doc says that most people w/ it

actually have around 40 - 45 active trigger points. . . . Yikes!!

 

The 18 points indicated on the chart are the " official " ones used

for diagnosis. You may have more. And they may change from day to

day, or even from hour to hour. <sigh>

I have fibro too, but have FINALLY gotten some relief. Don't know if it's

the new meds, or the exercise or both, but sure glad something is working.

I got a huge lecture (heartfelt and compassionate) from a Dr. who said you

MUST exercise every day for the rest of your life. It is the only thing

that will really help give some relief. Don't wanna be stuck on pain meds

forever! So, I forced myself to go to Curves. Didn't think it was going to

work at first, but I kept makin myself go....no matter how painful it was.

It has been almost 2 months now and I go 3 times a week. I can't believe

the difference.

Just thought I would throw my testimony out there for all those Fibro

sufferers! I know it's horrible to think of exercise (or even moving) but

for me, it has sure been worth it. Hope these positive results last!
