Exercise Rescues from BFS Burnout

A couple weeks ago I was getting worse and worse. It was taking over. Pain and burning and weakness. I hadn't had much activity in nearly 2 months trying to "Let the BFS calm down a bit". Instead my body started to turn on me. The only thing that has helped:.... exercise. Movement. Slow. Deliberate ... consistent (thank you Suzi) movement. I am astounded. I am so weak after I do the workout (grandma workout) ... and I am doubled over with tiredness and spasms the next day .... but then day 2 ... im a little better. By day 3 I am feeling good again. On Day 3 I repeat the same work out. Every muscle in the body. Every movement. 10 reps. Little or no weight. Shoulders 1 set of 10. Four diff shoulder exercises. Bench - 1 set of 10. Incline bench 1 set of 10. All very light weight. Curls ... one set of 10. Front legs ... Rear legs. Squats .... and then treadmill .... walking only for 5 minutes (my leg starts to cramp after that) .... speed 3.0 incline 5.0 .... Grandma workout. But entire body. Same situation the second time around. Exhausted the next day. Spasms. Twitching. Fatigue. But day 2 .... feeling better. By day 3 .... im better than I was the first time day 3 came. So I did the workout again. Same response ... but this time everything is better. Strength is up a bit more. By day 3 I am a rock star and feeling great. It took two weeks and about four work outs ... with a ridiculous 3-4 day rest period between. But on the aggregate I am feeling so much better. Its making a difference. Its helping.People with fibromyalgia report that the only thing that helps them is movement. Exercise to tolerance. Then rest. Then repeat. When I was sitting for 2 months ... i came "this close" to falling off the edge. My body was eating me up. Burning and pain ... taking over. This has completely stopped it.I also began some vitamins that are mentioned in numerous clinical studies for people who are suffering from Chronic Fatigue syndrome, Cancer Therapy, and Fibromyalgia: Its called ProPax with NT Factor. Its my new multivitamin. Again, mentioned in so many studies so I bought some online and take it daily. Apparently a lot of companies make a multi with this "NT FACTOR" ... this is the thing mentioned in the studies. It has muscle / mitochondrial / lipid supplementation and believe me. Hours and hours of researching lead me to it. I have looked at the ingredient list and it is SOLID for what we need. It says 3 packets of pills per day but I am only doing 1. Seems overkill otherwise. I am also taking 30mg CoQ10 and something called PQQ which encourages mitochondrial biogenesis (as does exercise). You need mitochondrial health to have any energy at all. Vitamin C daily 1,000mg as well as ALA and R lipoic Acid. Also Lysine as my CMV is a herpes family virus and i figure, why not. Most importantly I am juicing. Daily. Just 12-16oz is all. No fruits. Only vegetables. Dark leafy greens, bright color vegetables. I believe truly this is the nectar of pure health. I am blown away by my juicer - so much better than any I've ever gotten before - Omega: The thing is badass, takes about 30 seconds to clean. Works amazing. Anyways ... i know BFS waxes and wanes ... but for now ... today ... I thanked God that I am feeling okay. Tomorrow may be a disaster. But im thankful for right now. And ill repeat that prayer tomorrow. If appropriate. :)
 
now switch fats, cut down on sugar / sweets , etc/ and white flower and 65% chance you 're going to be relatively ok:)must say working out is good for me as well - more twitching in the beginning and almost none afterwards..I 'm saying there is 65% chance only because it's also probable that some of us suffer from genetic problems and I don't think any diet's going to change that..now it's wintertime in Europe so supplementing wit D is essential , I take 4 drops daily and I must say it keeps me happy :) I miss my motorcycle though, can't wait for the season..
