Re: have MS not much energy; can't exercise much

[Guest guest]

Lynn,

I wish I could help you more with answers to your questions... I

have fibromyaglgia and osteoarthritis with severe joint pain in my

weight bearing joints and didn't exercise much because of the fatigue

and the pain during my recovery period.

I am now exercising about 3 times/week. I am swimming for exercise.

I have been able to work up to a fairly intense and vigorous exercise

session in the pool. My weight loss, however, has been pretty

inadequate and I may have to have a revision of my common channel and

my alimentary limb.

As I can now eat 10 oz of food at a sitting, I may need a revision of

my stomach as well.

Perhaps some of the others who have fibromyalgia can speak to the

issue of post-op exercise and the success of their DS surgery.
