Hi MsMolly 23 I'm new to this group and the exercise thing is one of my main concerns too. I've only been diagnosed since March 2010 but I did go on a cycle holiday last summer ( complete with tent and panniers) , I swim 2 or 3 times a week and do a little bit of jogging! Its a lot less exercise than I have been used to doing but I am just working at it slowly and feel better for doing exercise. I'm not doing much right now as I have had a heavy cold and been having some odd heart beats over the past 2 weeks so I'm just waiting to get checked out. The Dr thinks my heart rate has dropped too low from the betablockers. When I was diagnosed it was hard to get any guidenace from the consultants in the UK so i feel I'm treading my own path now which can be a little scary What about you are you exercising if so what and how much?

"I have suffered from depression most of my life, but had some long, non-depressed times. The last 16 years have been an on-going, constantly worsening nightmare for me medically, socially and with my family. 11/2008 to the present has been the worst time in my life, and new things just keep piling up. During that time I’ve gone from being mostly homebound to being totally homebound due to the errors of about 2 dozen doctors who overmedicated me so badly that I came home w/ 4 conditions I didn’t go in with. I spent months wanting to die, and finding MDJ may well have saved my life. It’s one of the worst feelings to know that nobody on earth needs you for anything; but now that I’ve been a group leader for awhile, there are people here who need me. Thanks MDJ." (Sylvia4648)
