Let's all do some yoga!!!

Breathe in . Breathe out.

Don't laugh. I do this at night. Sometimes if I get a flare up (for whatever reason), I try and get my brain re-wired. Alan and I actually did some Tai Chi in the living room the other night. I balanced on one foot and did some of the moves we see the chinese people do in the park.

Alan looked at me balancing on one foot and said "how on earth can you do that". I just stood there on one foot and looked at him.

He tried to balance on the one foot. He could not sustain this.

I have no idea why. Probably has something to do with the CIDP.

And his neuro thinks his balance is better??

Are we (at our age) supposed to be able to stand on one foot for any length of time without putting that foot back on the floor?

I did this for approximately 3 to 4 minutes. Might not sound like a lot of time but Alan couldn't do it for 15 seconds. I probably could have done it longer but I was doing certain movements with my hands and certain breathing.

It helps to relax.
