I'm new! I have fibromyalgia, arthritis, and suffer from hypercalcemia; all painful and exhausting conditions! I'm currently working as a substitute teacher, since I'm too sore and tired to work full time. I just want to connect with fellow sufferers so we can exchange ideas and tips. Here's one I learned experience: weight loss and exercise really help! I've lost 90 pounds and counting. I take frequent walks and do a gentle weight routine. It works!
