So many members logging in, it's great!

First of all, Doydie, its very nice to see you logging in here. Dont listen to the negativity from your spouse, you CAN do this. Just dont allow yourself any, not any, excuses except fever, nausea, diahrrea or vertigo. JUST DO IT !

Dejibo: I know you are still in flare, just do what your body lets you do.

Debbie: You have such a good attitude; you are doing great with you exercise

TxBatman: What can I say, you set the standard here!

Erin, just haul yourself to the gym, or walk around the house or neighborhood: dont let yourself slide back.

I swam a mile today: 54 degrees outside and 82 in the pool That air was indeed cold.

There's no walking in this neighborhood. The city used front end loaders last month to get the snow out of the streets, and they dumped 6ft piles of snow boulders on the sidewalks, and where there arent snow boulders, it's an ice rink.

and the city is now saying they're going to go after the people who have the 6ft tall ice mountains on their sidewalks for not clearing them. Our sidewalks were clear for a week before the city came in to do the streets. The city is going to charge the homeowners now...our neighborhood has a lot of disabled people who cant get out to clear the sidewalks.

We're getting yet more snow tomorrow...I think I'll just climb up and down the stairs a few times for exercise.

Right now, because of this cold. I'm on a downhill slide. Still doing my necessary, have to, stretches, but as little else as I can.

This morning I did 20 minutes of dancing/exercise to cable music. I added some arm stretches, etc... to make it a better workout. Tomorrow we have an early morning meeting for work so I might wait until Sat for the next workout.

update, the ENT did not have to do those head maneuvers, as he did a bit and no vertigo.. so said he would not need to do the further maneurvers...
he then like so many other side doctors asked the all famous question....

have you been tested for MS... I just giggled.. he wondered why... told him about how many side drs have asked that and the neuros do not seem to think MS at all. He had a long talk with me about mild MS and MRI not proving against it... and what a wonderful man. He wants me to show up there next time I have one of those other spells of dizziness/balance issues/eye blur/ want to sleep attacks I get... instead of sleepign it off.. he wants me to call and have someone bring me there right away, to check me out...cool dr

he also said to make sure my neuro plans a head MRI yearly... to keep looking for changes....wow a doctor that wonders what I do about my sxs....

hugss all, sarah tomorrow I will get back into walking and yoga now that on the mend...

Interesting Sarah...could also be Meniere's disease...that is what they tried to dx me with originally because of my hearing loss, but I never had the vertigo that is usually characteristic of it. Glad to see he isn't just throwing his hands up and saying "oh well".


Did a spin class last night...the theme was "victoriously defeated". The instructor is always talking about the difference between "failing" or being unable to continue versus quitting. He always says we should strive to reach the point where cannot go any further instead of deciding to quit before we reach that point. So he told us we should walk out of the class last night feeling "victoriously defeated" and then set about forcing us to feel that way.

I did it...46 minutes, max HR 94% of max, avg HR 80% of max, ~750 calories...and I was victoriously defeated...

Sabi, that sounds like a doctor who is actually interested in helping his patients, and listens to the patients story. A keeper.

Erin, that stinks about the snow problem. Move to Florida?

Good job ewiz and good job txbatman

I swam a mile today: 64 outside and 82 pool. This cold weather is getting very old....

Yes BBS, wish he was a neuro lol

I walked a big walk today pushing the two little ones in double stroller.. we went down to beach area and played in the playground snow and all.. the slides were fast for them so they looked like lugers hehe

then we walked to McDonalds so they could have small fries and choco milk and I could get a water from walking. Stopped by my parents house then home... so long walk.

feeling good today, not many of those days happen so yeahhhhh
back to work tomorrow, hugss,sarah

Sabi, that sounds like a really fun time with your kids

I swam a mile today. Felt good

nice sunny day. I walked a slow mile, and came home with burning feet, and Uhthoffs really bad. (where you go half blind when you over heat) I get the rest of the day off. The DH is making a nice dinner.
