Before illness I had alot of hobbies, some I have difficulties with now so have stopped I used to enjoy ice skating, driving,running ,jogging. Which hobbies and interests have you found to be good and still enjoyable even with Fibromyalgia?
I do mixed media art-I sew, paint, work with metal, and do art journaling. Its a great outlet for me. Even on my bad days I can sit in the living room with my kids and paint backgrounds or go over ideas. I hope this helps.
I do adult coloring too. It relaxes me as well
I'm trying to find a group here as I think it would be useful Ian as agree with what you've said
going to firo meetings with fellow suffers once a month helps as they all now exactly how you are feeling and we all make each other laugh and have a good time talking relaxed in a warm room. No stress and gets you out to see you are not alone.
I used to garden. I can't get up and down to do that any more. My house is full of plant's and I'm trying to get patio plant's that I can care for from a sitting position. I used to write before I had children, rent all that adult stuff. Now that I can't do a lot of physical things I've taken it up again. I think it helps to have an activity that you enjoy.
