Hi. I'm new and happy to be here.

I am also new here. Your message about exercise really got me. I also hate when the doctors tell me to exercise. I try everyday to do a little more, but just trying to keep my house clean is so hard. I have to do a little and sit down for break. My meds make me tired, so it seems I never accomplish anything. I use to love to walk but now that just causes more pain. It is never ending.

Hope we can help each other to find a solution. Wouldn't that be great!!

Good luck

Speaking of trying to get exercise.....I can't walk much or do kick-boxing and all the things I once loved so I tried to think of a way to just move the old parts around a little. So I decided to try 'bed' exercises (not what you're thinking!) I just sort of move legs and arms up and down a little and stretch out and stuff like that...and it's really low impact since it's only on a mattress. It probably sounds a little silly but desperate times call for desperate measures. I love this sharing stuff with all of you. I makes me feel good. Thanks for listening.

I also have a new bike that I have only ridden twice because one lap around the neighborhood and I can't walk up the steps to get in the house.

I had been doing yoga but now even the simplest stretches feel like my muscles are being ripped to sheds. My kayak feels unloved now too. At least the kids have fun with it.

Hopefully I can work back up to some things again.
