I agree, you should wait for your symptoms to go before considering the gym. I used to get really ill just doing light exercise, and I can now walk 3 miles with minimal impact at the 5 month point.
However I went to the gym last Thursday and did 45 minutes in the gym, and I think jogging on the treadmill for 15 minutes was the big mistake - too much too soon. Since this I have been fatigued right through to Sunday afternoon. I also had a low level headache which didn't go away until Sunday either. My conclusion is that I will wait until I have two good weeks without symptoms before trying this again, and will just stick to walking or swimming for now.
Its very frustrating because I used to go 3 or 4 times a week, but at the moment it just isn't worth it.
