Guest guest Posted August 17, 2005 Report Share Posted August 17, 2005 Joana, I live with a pain scale of about 4 on a scale of 1-10 every day. But that doesn't stop me from exercising. My neurologist is a fanatic about not over doing but life is to short to sit still. I take a B12 complex vitamin and Creatine to help with my strength and energy levels. My hubby laughs sometimes at the vitamins I take but it helps. I find a B complex vitamin helps my hands when I over do I over do trying to crochet and play the guitat like I use to do. The doctors want me to have carpal tunnel surgery but with no insurance that won't happen anytime soon. So I keep going and going like the energizer bunny. Ya can't keep a good gal down!!!!! Good luck with your water exercises.... aren't they wonderful???? I might also add that I have a lot of health problems like hypertension, diabetes, chronic pancreatitis, and I am a cancer survivor, I figure if God hasn't given up on me yet why should I. :-) Hope your day is as lovely one.

Guest guest Posted August 18, 2005 Report Share Posted August 18, 2005 Dear Cathleen you are an amazing woman!!!! What a wonderful history of determination and strength there. Well Done Cathleen!!!!! God Bless you Always. Your email give to all of us hope...never to give up, NEVER! I too, now more than ever wants to prove to myself that I can do better and better. Yes, sometimes it is not easy but we do have to persevere at all times. I always been so lazy before regarding exercises..but now I really go for it. It is so rewarding to see changes taking place in our body. You were talking about B12, and I just do not know why my B12 was three times over the normality parameter. I need to check it again soon this, and my creatine also was quite high. Well, I have been taking Vitamin C for 2 months now and I feel more energetic recently. Found out that my cholesterol is high too, but then I think it must be this menopause, I just don't know. I am 51 and from now on things starts to happen here and there.Hahaha! I must to say that I really loved your email and Thanks again Cathleen for sharing with us. Have a WONDERFUL DAY!!!! Take Care Joana > Joana, > > I live with a pain scale of about 4 on a scale of 1-10 every day. But that doesn't stop me from exercising.

Guest guest Posted July 16, 2008 Report Share Posted July 16, 2008 Thank's for the suggestions ; that is a good start since I have not done any exercise in many many years except what I do during my daily routine. I did start treading water by not using my arms but my legs only. I think you should come be my personal swim trainer; we have plenty of room! We will be joining the JCC so I am going to see if they have someone that can help me. Jackie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
