To other Fibromyalgia patients! What is the max weight you personally can lift without pain?

Mine is one or two pounds. The doctor told my boss I can lift 5 pounds.

Answer:
I know that it depends on the day I am having- I am a musician and to hold my violin up for a long gig- can hurt, but not be awful, and then other days, it feels like I am holding a cello under my chin. only after playing for a few minutes- and I also sing- and there are days I can harder hold the mic. Hang in there- I understand your pain-
It really depends on what kind of day ones having..I would have to say up to 30 pounds, but then I have always been use to lifting much heavier things.As far as the Drs go, you may want to know that many of them don't even believe the Fibromyalgia is a real condition.It's often a title they give to people when they can't figure out the real cause to your pain..This I know is Fact as I have a sister who runs a non for profit organization that has stated this to me...Seriously, because the condition effects more women than men, I would seek a woman dr and get better treatment...
I have fibro and I hurt all the time so its hard for me to give you an answer with x amount of pounds, etc! I will tell this though.....I have a 21 pound grandbaby and it hurts when
I pick him up!
