Hello homegirl59 .

I think you are doing marvelously well. Symptoms vary from person to person and no-one will be able to tell you when "crap" will start as none of us have a magic ball. Some people unfortunately, get ill very quickly and many others stay mild. Enjoy your health! Enjoy your grandchild. Keep up your amazing routine at the gym. Don't tempt fate by expecting the worse. I take whatever good happens from day to day embrace it and feel extremely lucky.

Have a great weekend!

Cas xx 🍂🌾🍃🍂🌾

Well done, since my diagnosis, I’ve been going to the gym and swimming! I’m same as you it’s only steep inclines and stairs i get bit breathless with. For me weightlifting has had an amazing effect on my condition 💖
