Do I exercise ? Yes when I can. No when I am not able to. I use to be a gym rat 4-6 hours a day 6 days a week .. Life happened... Fibromyalgia happened and I can't do that anymore .. But I do what I can when I can.
I would just personally not care for a doctor that would push push the exercise point at me.
But this is just my opinion.

"If you have fibromyalgia with painful tender points, deep muscle pain, and fatigue, exercise is probably the last thing on your mind. Yet did you know that exercise may be just what the doctor ordered? Whether it's daily walks, stretching, swimming, yoga, tai chi, or Pilates, low-impact exercise programs can keep you fit in spite of your fibromyalgia and may help reduce pain as well".
"Gradually she worked up to walking to the mailbox and back, and then to more steady exercise on a treadmill. Today, she credits exercise with playing a big role in improving her fibromyalgia pain."
