I agree 100% with Erin here Pippi. Listen to your neuro; if he is telling you that you're not ready yet, you should want to wait. Frustrating as waiting is, when he gives you the green light you'll be able to get your muscle tone back fairly quickly. Keep mentioning it to him so he doesn't forget that you want to be able to do exercise and get his help on setting up a safe program for you.
If you are going to try to exercise anyway, I would suggest you get a treadmill and walk at home. When you get tired at all get off it.
Best of luck
Brian.

Being at home, though, and being inactive is causing me concern over weight gain, muscle tone etc. I mentioned exercise to my Neuro at my last appointment and he said I was not ready. How can we keep muscle tone without hurting our MG?
