Gardening With Fibromyalgia and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Can You Still Do Yard Work?

*******************************************

Now I am not a gardener and I hate the outdoors and if you read this article and suffer from Fibromyalgia and have Chronic Fatigue Syndrome as well you might see the partial reason.  Well the main reasoning about gardening is that I am not interested in gardening, but I can’t be outside in the heat and sun either. It makes my skin “burn” even if in the shade. It’s not a pleasant feeling.

The humidity hampers my breathing as I have Asthma. I am currently taking my breathing medications through a nebulizer rather than an inhaler although I do have an inhaler for emergencies that I carry in my purse.

Now I wish I could convince my family that I am not just lazy but have legitimate reasons for my problems.
