What About Physical Education and Fibromyaglia?

I am managing to do physical education with my juvenile fibromyaglia. Technically it's modified PE, and that sucks. IF you don't have fibromyalgia and or chronic fatigue let me try to tell you what it feels like to run (I also have costochronditis which causes some of the following symptoms). I feel like my head is going to explode. My blood pressure becomes so low fromt he neurally mediated hypotension, that I can barely make out what is in front of me. The costochronditis causes my arms and head feel like they are bulging forward, while my is being pushed down. My joints feel like they are grinding. The sore throat from my CFS gets worse cause I'm inhaling pollen.

Those are just the symptoms. What is the worst thing you ask? The fact that you see kid's either A. Running ahead of you with no problem or B. kid's near you are complaining and they have no idea what pain is. I never let myself get weak in public, if you do you are a target. Anyway just watching a pain free kid makes me think about when I didn't have the pain. I took everything for granted. I judged my mother for being affected by it, when I clearly had no clue. I hope this has given you some insight if you don't have any of these disorders as to what excersize is actually like.
