Keeping active is recommended, but it's important to understand your tolerance levels.
Hydrotherapy is excellent due to it taking the pressure off the joints.

Yes, contrary to popular belief, exercise can help fibro patients a lot. It keeps your muscles/joints limber so they don't get stiff or atrophy from non-use. However you must do LOW impact, be very careful and not overdo it. Go for water exercise, it's the best because it cushions the joints and muscles so you don't hurt yourself more while exercising. It is important to listen to your body well and not ignore any discomfort.

It depends how bad you are and if you are able, but if you are able then a little gentle exercise will help loosen your muscles swimming is good for fibro

Exercise is always good. Doing things like walking and low impact exercises will ensure your body is kept moving which will help with the pain. Swimming or aquaerobics also help as the water acts as a support for the body.

Listen to your body, if you feel you can push a bit more then do it but also if you feel you have done a bit too much then you should slow down.

Exercise actually improves my symptoms, but I cannot lift weights anymore. Low impact is best for me.

Yes be kind to yourself and build up exercise.

If you are diagnosed with fibromyalgia exercise daily, doing exercises that you were able to do while dealing with the pain and exhaustion. A lot of people gain weight with fibromyalgia because they hurt so much that they stop exercising. If you are able to continue exercising do so.

Yes physical exercise is very good but it will depend on the conditions of the patient. A physical therapy can be a good start for the patient to begin to adapt with the movements. Stretching with professional guidance would be a step forward for the patient.

It is not only recommended. It is a requirement, except for cases in which the doctor does not approve.
The physical exercises in fibromyalgia, in addition to promoting a better cardiovascular fitness, acting on the musculoskeletal system, that is, favor the mobility of the muscle groups that are in contraction prolonged, promote the elongation of the tendons, improve balance during gait, strength, and sleep.

That is determined by the patient depending on the severity or degree of pain, almost all sports require a very high degree of difficulty for the patients in my case Tai Chi and dancing at a slow pace helps me of course walking and swimming.
