I decided to rejoin my gym and work at getting this prednisone weight off.
30 pounds to be exact is what I gained.
I’m sure some or most is from food cravings.
Do I have to be cool can concerned with weight training again?
I’m supposed to be at the beginning stages of pbc and aih
Pbc patients are predisposed to osteoporosis, so strength training is good for it. In general, we all need cardio (3-5x a week) & strength training (2-3x a week).
Ease into it; don't go all out all at once. You don't want to hurt yourself.
If you suffer with varicies you should not be lifting or anything that is very strenuous. My heptologist placed me on a weight lifting limit of 25lbs. Too much can cause hypertension which in turn can cause the varicies to burst. This is the reason I had to resign from my much loved work at our local high school in the cafeteria.
I wish that you were closer to me. I would take you from bed to doctor just like my husband did to me. I went to bed in the clothes I wore to the dr.

I was not considering all these other complications regarding strength training. We can always do body weight strength training i.e. Push ups, squats, lunges etc.
Best to consult with your doctor as he/she can better assess, knowing your condition & they are experts.
Should I mentally prepare for the possibility..?
What should I ask?
Should i take Urso?
Should I be taking medication to slow down progress?
