8. Movement
Sure, it is difficult to perform physical activities when you are feeling pain in your body. However, a group of medical researchers has found that performing gentle physical activities can help to ease fibromyalgia pain. In their study, they asked fibromyalgia patients to perform light physical exercises for 15 min for 5 to 7 days a week. These exercises include walking, vacuuming, and swimming. At the end of the study, they found that the patients have reduced their perceived pain by up to 35%. So no matter how difficult it can be, attempt your best to perform physical activities a few times each week.
