I wanted to go exercise today, but the way I feel right now, I dont think there's any way it's going to happen. I dont feel sick, but my body just feels disconnected. (ok, the numb half of my body) I had to ask my mom to get my laundry out of the dryer for me. Just going upstairs for a bottle of water makes me feel like falling down and sleeping wherever I land.
I wonder if this is normal after having been on a steroid taper for a week. I feel almost as wiped out as I did when I was recovering from mononucleosis 15yrs ago. I feel like I walked a couple dozen miles on the treadmill, uphill, in front of a blast furnace. The people who told me to rest during a flare were not kidding. This flare better not last much longer, it's like having a vampire sucking the life out of me.

Yes, Erin, with you being in flare, we can definitely count that. Do rest as much as you can. Are you sure you do not have a fever?
Sally, Good Job! I hate to stretch so I am in awe of people that stretch Dejibo: Good to see you on the October thread. Nice work with the walking. Walking is my downfall. I can swim a mile with no problem, but If I walk briskly for 30 minutes, I go into spastic mode the next day. I did swim a mile this morning at dawn. Very nice swim too.

I'm going to assume that I'm running a bit warm and take a tylenol, or maybe an ibuprofen.

Yes, take a Tylenol and see if you feel a tad better when the temp is lower. Maybe you have a virus or a bacterial infex (UTI?)
I swam a mile today in my backyard pool.

Mornings are still beautiful and in the 60s. I am loving my walks and am able to walk between 5 and 10 minutes. Yeah!

I slept past noon today. I will exercise today even if I don't do anything else. I'll report back later on with details.

Dejibo, I hope your weather clears. I hate cold rainy days-- no fun to walk in them or even swim in them unless the pool is about 86 degrees.
ewiz: Did you get yoruself out and move around? tkrik: Nice job. I forget what part of the world you live in! I swam a mile this morning.

I did 20 minutes of Pilates yesterday and ten pushups, so that's a start. I need to take a break with the basketball. I few days ago I walked around the yard a bit and my right ankle gave out without warning. I fumbled but caught myself before I fell all the way down. The doctor thinks I'm having a bit of a flare up so I'm going to lay low until I feel better. I'm picking up some new medicines tomorrow or Tuesday so maybe those will help out somewhat.

Trying to get back into the swing of things now that I seem to be over the fatigue attack from last week...
today I worked out on a stationary bike for 33 minutes-did 8 miles. Then worked on weight machines for 30 minutes. I'm going to mow the lawn now, which takes about 35 minutes; I usually walk fast, so I can burn a few calories while getting the grass nice looking!
