Hi,
for the fibromyalgia i will wish to help you out here. Usually people tend to lose weight or put on weight based on their body composition and the physiology of the human body varies from one to the another. Muscle weakness, Joint pain and headaches are common in Fibromyalgia. Let me assist you first in brief about Fibromyalgia. It is a condition where the pain is in the fibers of the muscle, due to which muscle pain, weakness, tiredness, headache, etc troubles the patient. For dealing with fibromyalgia one need to first understand that the recovery is slow and steady in this condition. Strengthening the muscles by doing regular exercises, going for long walks for generating enough cardiorespiratory endurance, are utmost importance. Do regular Breathing exercises as the oxygen is the source of energy needed for any metabolic reaction in the human body at the cellular stage. Doing meditation will help control the mind and behavior as in fibromyalgia usually there will be a lot of irritation and frustation too, so meditation will also help. I will strongly recommend to focus on regular exercises, long walks, meditation and breathing exercises. Possibly you has also helped many people along with the previous use. Ofcourse you can see a physical therapist for his utmost guidance and knowledge if you need more assistance.
thank you
