Redtail- I love swimming...I haven't actually gone in ages, but even with long lapses between swims, I feel at home in the water...The best is swimming at the beach (as opposed to a pool)...The bright, warm sun, the breeze, the cool sand...Just floating is so nice...

Thanks, Kristy...I exercise at home, so I'll have to get some small weights and try out those exercises...My sister said that squats should work for those muscles, but I don't feel it when I do them in my hamstrings, only my upper thighs and butt.

Tyson- Don't worry- when you find the right meds., or they start kicking in to full potential, you'll be back to exercising in no time...I came across posts from other guys around your age with MG on other forums, and they also take either Imuran/Cellcept/prednisone and they were back to their exercise routines once their meds. kicked in and their symptoms were minor (compared to before)...Don't worry, time is your friend- listen to Rach.
