to think of things you are thankful for....i hope you heal fast and soon!

hot yoga 4 times/week, walk, hike and dance in my livingroom. Now I can only

walk on my good days. The other days are too painful, mostly from swelling

caused by prednisone. Even when I am not in pain and feel up to it, my yoga

routine causes more bleeding, as does dancing, or anything aerobic. I havne't

been able to exercise for the better part of a year essentially and my

endorphines went from " I feel happy most of the time, things feel good, I feel a

happy response to situations " to " nothing makes me feel good and I just want to

curl up in a ball or punch something and cry. " I know this is hormone related,

but it's hard to get through, and the worse I feel, the worse my symptoms get.

again yesterday and I immediately felt better and my pain went away. I was able

to do schoolwork and felt happy. Didn't last more than 3ish hours though, and I

know I should not keep it up.)
