Hey Kelly-

Going off what PCSlearner had to say- 10 minutes to start was way to much! I actually did the same thing at the end of January of this year, not aware of this subsymptom threshold program designed by Dr. Leddy. I had a pretty bad relapse of symptoms because I kept biking even though some of my symptoms were getting worse.

The idea is to ALWAYS stay beneath your threshold. I started doing 5 minutes on the bike at an extremely slow pace. I stayed at 5 minutes for a week and steadily increased the pace each day. I didn't have an exacerbation of symptoms so I've continued to increase the time by 30 second intervals and am now up to 9 minutes at a level 2 pace on the bike. Which is NOTHING compared to the exercise I was accustomed to, but hey, atleast it's some progress!

You would be a perfect candidate for the program- people come from all over the world! I'm really excited for my appointment in a couple of weeks and will be posting on how it goes.
