A MyFibroTeam Member asked a question 💭

Hi All Y'all
I've been avoiding any strenuous exercise for about 6 months and paid for it with weight gain and myscle loss. I've tried walking, aerobics, water exercise classes, yoga and I'd about given up until I decided I needed to get busy and do something.

A MyFibroTeam Member asked a question 💭

Memory Loss
A MyFibroTeam Member asked a question 💭

Hi all,
I’m just curious how many other people experience memory loss. Mine has increased two fold and it’s almost scary! I’ll go to movies and not only forget what it was about two days late, but I will forget I saw it all together! I could go on and on but I feel like I have early on set Alzheimer’s!

Anyone else experience this?
