From Yahoo News:
A small study seems to indicate that swimming eases the pain of fibromyalgia. The study didn't indicate if other forms of exercise, such as walking or aerobics, were as effective.
Okay... if they didn't compare other forms of exercise, how is this a valid study. Wouldn't a study of exercise and fibromyalgia include more types of physical activity?
But, read the article and decide for yourself.

I agree, that seems an odd omission. But I can so swimming has helped me overcome some of my fibromyalgia pain and stiffness. It is relaxing and I enjoy the mild workout.
the link to the article was giving me an error.. however, this site states the same. it also gives some interesting information on some herbal supplements that allegedly will help symptoms of fibromyalgia.. hope it helps! :)
Hey there. It's International Fibromyalgia Awareness Day and I just wanted to let you know that I provided a link to your blog on my post for the event. You can see the post at www.mybodyofwork.blogspot.com
I look forward to coming back to your blog and reading. I'm tired right now from doing my post! I hope you have a decent, low pain day this May 12.
You should check out www.educate-yourself.org for some information you should probably have.
