Dr. Yusuf Mosuro Shares Information for Patients Who Have Been Diagnosed with Fibromyalgia

HOUSTON - Oct. 21, 2014 - PRLog -- Dr. Yusuf Mosuro, a leading pain management doctor in the Houston area, knows how devastating a fibromyalgia diagnosis can be. With no known cure, patients can have some really great days, and other worse days where they are too tired, too weak or in too much pain to even get out of bed. Fibromyalgia is a very unpredictable condition, and flare-ups can happen at any time. It is for this reason that Dr. Yusuf Mosuro is sharing these top tips for dealing with this condition to the best of one's abilities.

1. When there is energy, use it.
Oftentimes, patients with fibromyalgia will feel too tired to engage in their favorite activities. When they do have good days and are feeling well, they should make the most out of that time to participate in the activities that they love. Falling into a "victim" mentality not only causes the patient mental pain, but it can actually manifest itself in physical pain as well.

2. Everything in moderation.
When having a good day, Dr. Yusuf Mosuro encourages patients to participate in their favorite pastimes as mentioned above, but it must be done in moderation. Doing too much, even on a good day, can trigger a flare-up of pain and cause lasting soreness. Patients must listen to what their bodies are telling them and only perform as much as they think they can handle.

3. Be active.
When in between flares, it can be very temping and natural to want to sit and watch TV or lay in bed because patients are afraid of inciting another flare up. It is helpful, however, to engage in exercise when they can including yoga and walking. Performing these activities helps to strengthen the patient's body and keep their joints and muscles active, keeping flares at bay.
