I just got back into exercising and pushed it too far on Saturday. It felt hard but... it was manageable. It's Tuesday today and I'm on the couch in my pajamas under a blanket. :( It's been a busy, overwhelming few days AND I had to go grocery shopping (which always kills me).

Boohoo. I hurt in all sorts of new places. Bleh.

Just whining... ;)

Yep. This will happen until you learn your boundaries. But don't let this flare talk you into giving up. Flares happen, I can say this after over a decade. When you exercise, you can over-do, and it hurts. But the body bounces back.

Rest some and next time do just a little less.

Treat yourself to a nice epsom salts bath and if you are not allergic, throw a little lavender scent in. That's my "go-to" comfort bath.

I hope you feel better soon

It's so easy to do! SO ironic that at the time, we don't necessarily feel that much, but then later - - wham.

I hope you start feeling better soon, and yes, next time, do just a little less. At least you tried! Good for you. Nothing ventured, nothing gained.

I think many of us fibromites have been down this road before. It's very easy to over do the exercise at first. It takes some time to perfect and even now I still push myself over sometimes. I found out by exercising I hurt less and I am not so tight. Take a short break and get back in the saddle. Lol
