I love swimming except they are repairing a bridge which is now closed in the way to the swimming pool so it takes quite a while to get to the pool and I am down to once a week or even less at the moment. Will be back to normal on 23 March!

Congratulation sparkle! I have also stopped steroids 4 weeks ago. I attend a weekly yoga class and an adult ballet class and intend to resume swimming and walk more. As exercise strengthens the immune system I intend to keep it up along with a good diet. The experience of PMR makes me want to take as much care of myself as possible going forwards.👍

Congratulations-I enjoy swimming/exercising in the pool. It helps to keep me mobile. I hope that you remain well. 😊

That's great, I was thinking yesterday of taking up swimming again, haven't done any since we left Spain in 2012. We have a new Leisure Centre here with 2 pools so after New Year I will go. Hope it helps with my weak left hip and thigh. I am also trying a dairy free diet! Good luck.🤞😊

I do aquafit with the local rheuma charity offer here in Italy - only wish there was more on offer at an affordable price! It kept me mobile with untreated PMR at the start - my gym had an amazing selection of daytime classes including aquafit every day!
