I hope everyone is feeling ok or near there.
It is Monday.I start back to the gym this week.I am excited and nervous.I have to pace myself.Overexercising is what brought on this major flare.But I do enjoy exercising.But now I will be doing it with constant pain,don't know how that is gonna go.
Well, I wanted to check in with everyone and say HEY! Take care Hi Sheila, Good luck with the exercise. Sorry you are having pain. I know what you mean. I overdo all the time and then have to live with major pain. I wish I could pace myself better. I want to work but trying to do that puts a lot of things out of my control so I'm not so sure I can continue some parts of my job. I wish I had the energy and determination to exercise. I need more will power. Have a good day Sheila Hey all, Good morning! Shelia, I am in awe of you that you are starting back in the gym...good for you. I recently just started back on my treadmill, used to do 3-4 miles a week, but am starting back at 5 minutes a few times a week, isn't that pathetic? My life seems to be defined by what I used to do and what I can do now. Know what I mean? I enjoyed me sleepover with my grandchildren but my 10 am Sunday I was exhausted and brought them home. But we had great fun. I mostly spent the rest of Sunday in bed...oh the price we pay. I have tried a lot of different pain meds, but currently take percocet, which we call my "loopy pill", cause that's how it makes me, but I take 3 a day and it has made a huge difference in the pain level. Hope everyone has a wonderful day. Mindy
Love,
Sheila
