Excercise? Scooter?

[Guest guest]

Thanks, everybody who replied to my last post re " Sad Husband " . Your

reponses gave me a lift - it's so good to talk to people who

understand. I have another question. Despite pain, I'm able to do

some forms of exercise (swimming, a little walking) for limited

periods of time, but am not sure if I'm doing myself any favors, given

the crushing fatigue that follows. The little advice I've gotten from

the doctors is not consistent. Some say " conserve energy " while

others say I'll stay more mobile if I keep moving. What have your

experiences been?

The question of balancing the benefits of exercise with the extreme

fatigue afterwards has always been tricky for me. I found that when I

did not exercise at all I got more fatigued and had more problems in

the long run. When I exercise the amount that seems right for me, my

overall health is better. I tend to exercise in the early evening

because I don't make too many evening plans so I don't mind resting

afterwards (especially when my hunny rests with me!). If I exercise

early in the day I can't get anything else done during the hours that

I most like to do things. But please keep in mind that this is just my

experience!! It seems like we all differ greatly in terms of what

amount and what kind of exercise we benefit from. And by the way,

welcome to the group.

Best,

Shayna
