Ugh I think I exercised myself into a fibromyalgia flare up

I have worked out all weekend and pushed it by working out yesterday as well. Today when I woke up, I felt like 💩 and it's just getting worse as the day goes on. My whole body aches but it's not like a normal "post workout pain", it's deeper, bone deep, and also my skin feels extra sensitive today, so I know it's a flare up. 😔

Today and tomorrow are gonna be recovery days for me.

Please stick to only simple yoga & breathing exercise (pranayam part of yoga)
(My dear wife had suffered from fibromyalgia & have come out after 15 years of recurring pain.I know how terrible it can become)
As such fibromyalgia doesn't have a real base, like pulled or tired muscles or ligaments or overload.
Yet, strenuous 'Workout' may lead to something where the nerves start to send off the wrong signals of pain, which causes a flare-up of fibromyalgia.
Prayers for a speedy relief - take care. 💜

@Domking Yoga is a joke and fibromyalgia is very real, it's an autoimmune disorder based in the nerves.
