I hope you’re able to get moving soon. I too am overweight and have just started adding exercise to my weekly routine. I did the slow progression from one minute and worked myself all the way up to sixty minute cardio classes. When I’m not feeling too well I do some exercises in bed. Hope you feel better soon
That’s awesome Brittany. A real inspiration!
Thank you Kim. I hope you are feeling better.
I haven’t been able to exercise because I’ve been sick. But, I’ve noticed just going up and down the stairs more in my house is a workout. I still plan on getting on the tread climber, if only for 30 seconds to start. I’m going to attempt it today as my cold is gone for the most part. Wish me luck. Thank you for all of your support!
Kim, have you considered Benlysta? I was VERY reluctant and said “No” twice to my Dr’s mention of it until I finally took the chance. Awesome results so far! I hope you get back on your feet and get your body moving. It’s so hard to get back to moving once my body is at idle; keep moving no matter how much your mind tries to persuade you otherwise. Good luck to you and God Bless!
Hi, Mona. I tried submitting this once before but don’t think it went through. My apologies if it gets posted twice. I have tried Benlysta but it made me very sick. My rheumatologist then put me on methotrexate which seems to be helping a little. A little more time will tell how well it works for me. He also put me on an anti-inflammatory that seems to be of some help with the pain. I’m praying the difference will help me get moving. My whole family is sick with a cold now, so I’m still sick. But, I must start moving ASAP.
Hi Kim,
I am so sorry to hear you are going through this, I have been on Prednisone for over 2 years and I am done with it. I am working on getting off of it and hopefully get back to my normal weight. I have a 7y/o as well and it kills me when I can't do anything with him. I have been on Methrotrexate before, I had to do the shots because the pills were not agreeing with me. I am now on Rituxan and I feel better, I know that the weening off of prednisone is bad, I am at 20mg finally and next week 15mg. Hang in there, it will be better to be off of it. Sending you good thoughts!
