Fibro-Friendly Hobbies: Recommendations Needed!

What hobbies would you recommend that are fibro friendly, especially pain and brain fog? I want to start having fun again! I really like embroidery and reading, but both have become tricky, reading especially so.

Can you help? Connect today

omg I’m obsessed with them! I try to listen to one a week at least. Forgot to mention that!

I'm not a reader, I like crafts that are quick, although my favorite is wood crafting, like woodburning or woodcarving.

Belugabear

those around cool, thanks!

Podcasts are great! I'ld recommend Ologies and How To Save A Planet.

Word puzzles 🧩 stimulates your brain 🧠 and help stay focus. I also swim 🏊‍♀️ and do some baking, read.

Belugabear

any word puzzles you recommend? I really like that idea! Baking and reading are sadly pretty hard

I'm listening to an audiobook rn. Mobile puzzle and word searches and even match 3 games are great for the fog

Belugabear

thank you!!!

I have been sewing for decades. I find I can do many of the steps of making a quilt while sitting in my recliner.

Belugabear

that’s a great idea, I love seeing but never really thought about how I can do a lot of it in bed!

Maybe an instrument? I play guitar and ukulele, although sometimes the chords are tough on my fibromyalgia, I still like it!

Belugabear

I used to play, maybe I should start up again! Thanks!
