However, I am finding that none of my happy places are being accepted by my PN. I meditate and do other things to help relax but NOTHING compares to exercise for me. I am so depressed without an outlet for my frustration and what's going on in my body. Can some of you share what works for you. I only take Gabapentin before bed to help with my symptoms so I can sleep. Would it help me be able to exercise if I take it during the day too?

Exercize to tolerance is the mantra but lately I have become lazier or less tolerant. I used to use a spin bike for three songs on the internet. One song-legs and ankles-toes. Next song-legs-arms and neck rolls. Next song try to stand up and pump, that is cardio and up to 40 strokes. I think weight gain is slowing me and my determination. I hope you develop many new routines and tell us about them. Ken in Texas.
