So some of u know I gained 40 pounds from medicine. I went from trying to gain weight at 110 to now 150.
I guess my question is how do I dress now that I'm bigger? I've gone from a size 1 to 8 in pants.
Do I just go n buy larger shirts. I want to be comfortable with my body n in clothes.
Sorry to ask such a stupid question I've Just never had to deal with this
Look at what you have in the closet that's too small but you still like the style and look for things similar that look good on you and that aren't too tight so they won't hurt you. I'm a bigger lady… read more
Comfort is not usually a word surrounding Fibromyalgia sufferers. But I have to tell you, I'm so happy that I have come up with this idea. Some of you may have already known this trick and maybe I'm the last one to know. But at a risk of sounding ridiculous, here it goes. I have suffered with the pain of fibromyalgia along with the rest of you. I must say, even wearing clothes gets painful at times. I especially dislike wearing shorts or jeans or skirts. Basically anything around my… read more

Loose clothing helps no belts and hot pack for pain and cold pack for inflammation
I find bras painful and uncomfortable. Any ideas on other options.
Right now i just wear layers to clothing,so its not noticeable
I find that I can no longer wear underwire bras for long periods of time! I found bras with good support and no under wires are working out much better!
I need a stretching type class because I'm so bad at doing things to help my situation at home. My thigh muscles are much tighter than any others and it causes my knee caps to pull up. I have trouble with lounges and various other positions but when I stretch it helps.
What is hot pod yoga
That’s too bad, I’m sorry to hear that for your friend.
