I too have Fibro " one of the worst cases I have ever seen " says my friendly

Rheumy!

I got a therapeutic Jacuzzi (actually that brand) it is called Therapeutic

and seats only 2

Actually very cute but not concussive for social tubing...

Anyway.... I sit in the tub (water is only 99 degrees no hotter) and work my

knees slowly. It works wonders. The pain comes back but there is a reprieve

between tub times.

This is also very good for my EDS. Nothing weight bearing about water and I

can get some exercise in. I can work up a sweat without having any pressure

on my joints.

It is a bit expensive (but is tax deductible) but I think it is WELL worth it.
