@Parus
Thanks. At least speaking about fibro seems to have become a lot more acceptable and more people have heard of it. When I first heard Linda in 1990 say that the doctor told her she had fibromyalgia I said "What the heck is THAT?" It was so weird sounding. Now you hear it bandied around more than back then.
So Parus, do you have both fibro AND neuropathy as well? Seems like most people on Connect have multiple things wrong with them, like Linda. Few have just one thing. One more (teeny bit personal) question. Is your Connect photo meant as a joke about covid? Just wondering. Best, Hank

So true about multiple issues. Remember, fibro is considered an immune disease on par with arthritis. Although I really don't 'suffer' from fibro anymore, I've been dealing with severe spinal issues for over a decade until I had cervical and lumbar surgery on my spine a couple of years ago, as well as osteoarthritis and neuropathy.
I do my best to be as active as possible. I can no longer walk without the support of a cane, but I do get on the treadmill everyday for at least 1/2 hour to 45 minutes and later in the day I go into the pool (I live in Florida) to exercise for another 1/2 hour. I've had other things and I've done other things as well to try to help all these conditions.
What can I say, it's my way of life and I'm not ready to give up!!!

@jesfactsmon Yes, I have multiple issues. Fibro was the 1st diagnosed in the physical realm. Spine issues. Seems one thing flaring up causes a chain reaction. The profile photo is more about how we all are asked to present these. days. I in no way see COVID19 as a joke. This was in the beginning when masks were unavailable. Mayhap it is time for me to update profile photo.
