In 2000 I was still biking 25/30 miles on the weekends, and playing 10-12 hours of aikido weekly and having fun with tai chi. I still had symptoms then, but much milder and not diagnosed. I keep starting to exercise and over doing it and having to stop and recooperate. I have a Y membership and want to get back in shape as much as I can. I need to keep my weight going down, not up at this point or there will be more payback. I will read the sites and stickies carefully too. Thank you all for the encouragement.
