Thanks for your mention Ruby - Im so thrilled to be posting again. Meaning to answer all the lovely messages in earlier posts but please forgive if i don't get round to it. Energy still big problem so just please know how much each and every message meant to me.
I managed to climb the stairs tonight with just one rest. Could only do three steps before needing rest last night - 7 steps tonight, how's that for progress, so hoping for speedy recovery.
Lets remember how many others are not around and struggling with flare-ups, and various other connected stuff. What a wonderful site this is. xxxxx jean

Hi O2 I am glad you are starting to feel better but don't overdo it will you otherwise you might set yourself back. The only good thing about being ill is the wonderful feeling when you start to recover! Take care and look after yourself. x

Hi Jean,great to have you back in the mad throng.You just be careful,you know how those pesky steroids give you a false sense of muscles,make you think you,re superperson,so please take it easy,slowly ,slowly catchy monkey 🙉 .Take care D.
Wow...very well done O2, that's brilliants...so glad you're on the mend. lol I bet you DO feel like your legs belong to someone else too....sending you warm hugs. x
O2Trees, I battle on, even as I had a chill on the evening coming back to see Swan Lake at the Marlowe. So wonderful, but the chill lasted in me for a few days and i jumped on my ABs. A week of it has put me back to normal and Gym is seeing me 3 times a week , lucky fellow! My flute sees me and I "kiss" it every day. I don't know why it screams everytime!
I'm so glad you feel better. Take it gently. One exercise only at a time to be able to build yourself up. Only one breathing with with arms shoulder high pushing them back anf breathe in, and pushing forward breathing out, that's all, no more!
Three times week at the gym Mic, you're such a star. Glad you're over that chill, Swan Lake must have been lovely -envy, envy
You're right about taking it gently. I thought i was doing ok then Farmer D warned me about not having muscle tone; then today a friend who does lymphatic drainage visited and got the swelling down on my legs and feet, and I've realised that the oedema was itself acting as a kind of scaffolding for my legs and now its gone they look so puny and sad and ironically feel weaker.
So baby steps as they say.
When I'm better i'll meet you for coffee after one of your gym sessions
When I started the gym all these years ago, I only went on the treadmill for 2 minutes at an agonising slow pace. I was out of breathh. But I went back again and slowly, very slowly built my tone indeed, and my breathing got better. Take courage. It's worth it Mic
