Hi, Tammyinwv. This also is my first time here. I am 57 years old and have had fibromyalgia since 1988 along with diabetes, reflux/heartburn and have also had three back operations. Like you, I used to work until 15 months ago. I have gained back the 30 pounds I had lost on Weight Watchers. My husband and I try to get walking exercise in daily. It is a little harder during the winter months. I know it's not easy for you as I understand the extreme fatigue and pain that you must have daily. My doctor told me I needed to exercise, especially because of the fibromyalgia and diabetes. Some days it is easier than others but I dare not give up. I try to push myself as much as I can. Hang in there and don't give up. Would love to hear from others out there who have similar problems.
