I was really into playing the piano but because of my fibromyalgia it was too painful to play. I agree with you that it is important to still have hobbies even though they may not be the same. I learned to manage my pain through http://onlineceucredit.com/edu/social-work-ceus-pain and I am beginning to slowly get back into piano. If you love something enough, you shouldn't let fibromyalgia get in the way. A similar thing happened to me.

So, you go home again to get it and find the coupons you forgot; but not the list. Then, you go back to the store figuring you will use your coupons to remember what you need. By the time you get there, you have forgotten that you had a list or coupons and you wander the store trying to remember what you needed and buy a random assortment of stuff that looks good. Then, on the way home, you remember some of the stuff you needed; but, your to exhausted to go back. When you get home, you put your hand in your pocket and find your shopping list and coupons and resolve to try to remember you have them tomorrow when you have the energy to start the whole process over again.

I put off putting things away until later..BAD, BAD thing to do. I tell myself if I would just put things away, it wouldn't be so cluttered, but I just don't have the energy..

Do you even follow it? There is just too much processed and junk food easily available, and with the lack of time and high stress levels it’s just too easy to forget adding fresh fruits and vegetables in your daily diet.

And push ups were totally out of the question, as I have always had bad wrists. The pain of doing a sit up wasn't just in my core, it would shoot out everywhere , down my hips, through my legs, into my neck. And I'm thinking back to junior high PE class.

There are very easy exercises and the maintaining you balance works your abs and you can build up to doing ab specific exercises. Even sitting one one while on the computer is a 'work out.'
