I think jumpers are sweaters, @nyxgirl, if I recall correctly from reading Babara Pym novels. I used to stretch for 40 minutes in the morning, hoping it would help me get out of bed. It didn't. Then I walked for a good hour in the mornings, but the back of my knees stayed stiff. My neck was so sore and stiff I wanted to go to a chiropractor, but I was scared that any manipulation would break my neck! And my morning stiffness lasted all day. I felt a little better in the evenings, breathed a sigh of relief, and thought I was getting better, but every morning proved me wrong.
Oh, the joys of PMR! What nonsufferer could ever understand it?
Before I was diagnosed I asked my sister and my friend who exercise a lot if they were sore for 3 days after exercising like I was. They both laughed at me and said I needed to exercise more often. Jokes on them! PMR was the culprit! Now I can exercise without feeling miserable.
