Date: Apr 18, 2013
Advice & Tips: From Oct2012 to April2012 I was unable to do the daily sun salutation, due to shoulder pain. The PT thinks it was probably the fall when i missed the step at JAn's party. It has not gone away. I felt it the other day when i slipped a little on an ice patch. I am doing the sun salutation again. Some evening in front of the TV i do many stretches.

Mar 05, 2012	30 min Weekly

Date: Mar 05, 2012
Advice & Tips: Due to neuralgia I practice yoga sporadically as and when I can but feel better if I can practice regularly whether for 10 minutes almost every day or for 1 hour 2 or 3 times a week. Benefits are holistic - I feel energised and soothed physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually. This helps me to manage the neuralgia symptoms more effectively by feeling powerful instead of powerless against the pain. Finding the time is up to me as it can be 10 minutes or longer according to my schedule and energy levels. However, when I am experiencing intense pain it is harder to feel motivated or to physically maintain a practice.

Side effects:: Mood elevated or improved

Date: Jul 21, 2011
Advice & Tips: I think I found that CFS/ME is a problem, so overdoing anything made me sick - however doing gentle yoga was VERY helpful and pleasant when only dealing with FM symptoms. I did basic moves (child, table, cobra, etc) in my home and breathing exercises for about 20 minutes. Recently, I have had the most lengthy amt of days where PRFs are above 40 so I have stopped this treatment. I am doing very gentle stretching daily, and moving when I can to tolerance.
