Hi Lara, one of the main symptoms of Fibro is all over muscle and nerve pain You could think of it like an auto immune illness though it is not.
but it is a good way of looking at it. We can not turn the pain off even though it is actually not damaging the joints etc. The Brain is actually miss firing and sending pain signals to my back for eg. This makes movement or exercising almost impossible. So after time your muscles will as we know lose there strength and become weak. To move is painful and exhausting and it can take days or weeks to recover instead of the normal hours it should.

We get mega muscle spasms when we try to do things. Not everyone ends up in a chair like me. But then again some get worse and end up bed bound !! There is many degrees of fibro and muscle pain But there is so many more things to deal with that makes everything so exhausting exasperating and frustrating aarrggh To day i have been hit with muscle pain and inflammation from my shoulders to my toes. The reason why I have been trying to use a pedometer and start pacing steps around the home. I have only done 11ooo over 7 days !! which is at least 6000 i would have normally done today i am bed bound because of the pain in the whole of my back !! I think the answer to your question depends on which doctor you talk to.

Wow sorry to hear that mo, sounds very complicated! Hope you're feeling better soon

So back on thread with this healthy salmon salad 



Ingredients:

100g couscous

1 tbsp olive oil

2 salmon fillets

200g sprouting broccoli, roughly shredded, larger stalks removed

juice 1 lemon

seeds from half a pomegranate

small handful pumpkin seeds

2 handfuls watercress

olive oil and extra lemon wedges, to serve

How to prepare and make:

Heat water in a tier steamer. Season the couscous, then toss with 1 tsp oil.
Pour boiling water over the couscous so it covers it by 1cm, then set aside.
When the water in the steamer comes to the boil, tip the broccoli into the water, then lay the salmon in the tier above.
Cook for 3 mins until the salmon is cooked and the broccoli tender.
Drain the broccoli and run it under cold water to cool.


Mix together the remaining oil and lemon juice.
Toss the broccoli, pomegranate seeds and pumpkin seeds through the couscous with the lemon dressing.
At the last moment, roughly chop the watercress and toss through the couscous.
Serve with the salmon, lemon wedges for squeezing over and extra olive oil for drizzling, if you like.
