AuPlatypus posted:

quick post from a long time sufferer. for 2 yrs now I have been free of the major symptoms of Fibro .. except when I wasn't riding pillion daily on the big 1200cc motorbike. Whenever i have a few days off riding ... syptoms start & when the bike was in the repairer for 3 weeks I was getting back to bad pain (& depression as well). I know @ least 3 others who have found a similar correlation!
one aspect maybe the snug warm of leather ackets & cold bits like faces. Adrenaline ... may work like CORTISONE?
one aspect is CAR TRAVEL .. I get restless legs quickly in the position one is passenger in & some pain after being driver. The upright position on the MOTORBIKE has strengthened my inner core & although i still get some knee pains from an old injury I have more freedom than in a car & public transport has the problems associated with ... not getting a seat ... long time standing means more pain!
Be well Be Happy & hopefully happy enough to distract oneself from the pain! ...
