Building Muscle Strength With Fibromyalgia
What is the best way to build muscle (core and upper body, especially) when one has fibromyalgia and suffers from 24 to 48 hours of severe spams and pain in the shoulders and neck whenever any lifting (with arms or of the upper torso against gravity) is done?
I have a limited diet due to food allergies, and primarily rely heavily on fruits and veggies, and use chicken or eggs as animal protein. I need to build strenghth and endurance, but the effects of trying are severe.

I would suggest low impact workouts with progressively adding more resistance as you become stronger. The perfect solution for that is with Bodylastics resistance bands. Physical therapists use resistance bands for those exact reasons. The Bodylastics bands have clips on them so you’ll be able to easily adjust the resistance level as needed.
