Re: Re: Cron Markers(was CRON Progress Measurements)

Rodney: my favorite marker is not one that you can do at home. It's the

low WBC that is characteristic of being a CRONIE. This low WBC means that

your immune system is " honed " . I like to see that low number on my blood

tests which is quite a bit lower than pre-CRON. See BT120YD for more info.

I take mine during exercise (not easy to do) like on a treadmill,eg. I sit down measure it and write it down.

Get on the treaddy and walk 1/2 mile, stop the treaddy, sit down and measure it again.

I do that for 3 miles, 3 mph. Then I rest for 5 mins take it, rest 10 mins and take it.

That at least gives an idea what it doing when exercising. There just isn't any non-invasive way to do it.

Do that several days and watch the changes in BP and performance.

I see BP come down at the start of the second day, drop more at the end of the exercise.

You can experiment with faster walks - see the rise. Compare over time.

Draw your own conclusions.

Regards.

Hi Francesca:Thanks for the suggestion to regard blood pressure as a progress marker. My diastolic has always been low. But it is a while since I have seen a systolic reading below 120. So perhaps for the next couple of years I should be watching for a drop in body temperature (perhaps eventually by a full degree?) and for my systolic BP to drop below 110.Any other suggestions will be appreciated.Rodney.
