Another huge plus is the breathing techniques, providing oxygen to places that it just doesn't get to normally. It helps eliminate my pain in the long run and gives me lots of energy. It may hurt while I'm doing it and after too. I have found there's no way of getting around pain. Some of it's good because it can mean my nerves are healing. Some of it's not but I would have lost muscle tone without it, making me progressively worse. So I stay on top of it. My meditation lately is golf. I like to go by myself because it's almost like therapy. I am so focused on putting that ball in the little hole, that there's no room for anything else. It's something I have taken up since getting sick.
Why have you stopped dancing? Doing something that makes you happy is the best medicine.

Thank you February! You gave me new info to think about. I didn't realize that pain could mean my nerves could be healing. I gave up dance because during the warmup, a few minutes into class my right leg started burning from my foot on up my leg and I figured triggering my symptoms was not a good thing. Maybe I need to rethink this. I might be babying myself too much, which if you knew me you'd realize that's not my normal behavior!!
