Guest guest Posted September 14, 2010 Report Share Posted September 14, 2010 Hi everyone, Not on here that much these days. I do try to go back and read the emails from everyone. But I am happy to say I am feeling pretty good these day. I am currently suffering from some symptoms perhaps caused by long term use of the prednisone. Since I have been feeling a little better, I've been trying to workout more at least 4 to 5 times a week. I have noticed that my bones aren't as strong as they should be. At the moment, I am experiencing some pain from walking daily in my hips, knees and in my foot since uping the exercise. Some days I try to just ride the bike or skip the walking and just do my silver sneakers classes if the pain is more that day. I love to walk now because it helps with the stiffness and overall health. I'm going to keep going while I am able and just rest when it becomes a little overwhelming. I went to my eye doctor last week and he said my iritis and uevitis is gone for now and I don't have to come back for a year unless I notice some changes. I am very thankful to God that I am doing as well as I am at the moment and I wish you all have at least a few days that are pain-free. Shauna in atlanta.

Guest guest Posted October 8, 2010 Report Share Posted October 8, 2010 I am so behind, but good to hear from you and so glad you are doing better, you are taking your calcium right? MSM might help with your joint pain, I just buy it at any store. Walking is good, even if it hurts, I can't walk very fast or far, but I really have been pushing myself on the treadmill, Usually I can only go about 15 mins. but been pushing for 30 mins, I don't get higher then level 2, and when the legs give I go down to level 1 and keep going to 30 mins., I try to do this 3 times a week, as pushing to 30, causes more pain in my legs, but my Neuro said if you don't use it you will lose it, also I would love to lose weight, been struggling with that ever since coming off the Pred. about 6 years ago. sorry to go on, happy to hear from you, keep up the good work. MarlaJust one day at a time, That's all God ask of us. for there never really is a tomorrow, as that too is just today:) Hi everyone, Not on here that much these days.

Guest guest Posted October 8, 2010 Report Share Posted October 8, 2010 I just have to add, DON'T JUST BUY "ANY MSM" All vitamins are not equal. I can't tell you how many undigested vitamins I've seen myself on x-rays. Generics vitamins are crap and should be avoided along with supermarket and drug store brands. There are excellent brands that are close or just a bit more (not just MSM) but all vitamins do not break down and work the same. Before a new FDA mandate only 60% of what they claimed was in the pill had to be in it. Now supposedly it has to be what it states but the cheaper the pill the cheaper the fillers and the cheaper the fillers the less you get in your system and some fillers will only break down in a complete acid environment. Most of us are taking things to prevent our stomachs from being extremely acidic because of the meds we are taking and to avoid GER. If your not sure of a brand e-mail me and I'll be glad to give you my advice. I also keep a wide variety of supplements in my office and have offered them to people on this board for cost and shipping. Or if you are on very expensive supplements that you buy from a store or doctor I would be glad to see what discount I can get for you. I just saved someone $400 of supplements that they take regularly. They were paying $95 a canister from their Doctor. I got the prices and got them for $62 I had to buy a dozen but she uses a canister a month and I got free shipping.. If I can help anyone else let me know but please remember that "ALL VITAMINS ARE NOT CREATED EQUAL" Mitch Roll Call, please............. > To: neurosarcoidosis > Date: Monday, September 13, 2010, 5:53 AM > > > > > > > > Hi everyone, > Hey, it is nearly Fall so let's start a new season (a little early) and > have a really good Roll Call.
