Guest guest Posted May 29, 2003 Report Share Posted May 29, 2003 I think it was who wrote recently that she never regained her strength after loosing all her muscle. I lost a lot of muscle too and have been holding out hope that one of these days I will be strong again. It's painfully obvious to me that I am not as strong as I used to be - everything from yard work to bike riding is a lot of effort now and it's just too easy to let my husband do the harder stuff or avoid the hills. And something one of my NDs said to me keeps popping up and giving me this niggling thought: What if it's not possible to regain my strength??? (She asked if I lost a lot of muscle and then said what a shame, that's too bad - as if it was permanent damage or something - I should of questioned her at the time but didn't.) Has anyone got some success stories in this area? I imagine it would be helpful to start doing some strength training exercises - weights etc... but of course getting a daily walk in and a few yoga poses is still a lot for me at this point - but I think I'm going to try doing a little bit of weight lifting a few times a week just to see.
