I always learn from you...hard to believe all of this as I recall in January I had a hard time keeping up with you as you led me through subway tunnels, city streets and has energy to burn! You are an example of how to tackle life...with a chronic condition. You embrace and use every "spoon" every day! <br /><br />Thanks for sharing your expertise and insight.

Lori from Arthro-Pilates is looking at making a DVD so then she can spread herself around. It certainly worked for her - she's in great shape and has a lot of stamina.<br />So far at my best I was as good as a moderate level healthy person, but have backslid since then.Anethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02831501899415936152noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8533911831400192848.post-9955841094714975432013-04-13T00:54:06.626-04:002013-04-13T00:54:06.626-04:00What a great post Annette!

I have found therapy in the pool exhausting as well, my body is strange part responds to heat, part responds to ice. I might have to explore this Arthro-Pilates you mentioned. Any exercise I can do laying down sounds about right to me! <br />Have a great weekend!<br /><br /><a href="http://www.lifewithraisapain.com" rel="nofollow">Life with RA is a Pain</a>Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07356030517049951139noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8533911831400192848.post-49830187644701026412013-04-11T22:35:29.721-04:002013-04-11T22:35:29.721-04:00I'm really glad that you liked it.I'm really glad that you liked it.Anethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02831501899415936152noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8533911831400192848.post-80813427307944353012013-04-11T08:05:35.714-04:002013-04-11T08:05:35.714-04:00Great post Annette, I really liked the posters and...Great post Annette, I really liked the posters and the circus theme too! I do find when I get really immersed in something that I love doing that the pain fades to some degree, I guess we get so engrossed in the 'book', the 'film' or the job in hand that our brains aren't totally focussed on the pain. Time to dig out my Doris Day films again I feel!!

I love those old posters, especially Madame Yucca. She was a real trailblazer. Imagine doing feats of strength dressed in all of those clothes.<br /><br />Thanks so much for the compliment.

We figured out that I was working too hard in the warm pool, and wearing myself out to the point of exhaustion. I never recovered because I was going twice a week but when I missed a day for my infusion I felt great until 5 days later when I went back to the pool. The lesson learned is that even if the infusions do make me feel better I still have a chronic illness and need to start my exercise routine more slowly.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8533911831400192848.post-23693464147247647852013-04-07T23:24:27.739-04:002013-04-07T23:24:27.739-04:00I'll have to look at yoga more.

I have some yoga exercises like that, but at the moment I can't even risk those due to this pain in my side (which is more like a pain in the neck). If I could resolve this I would be more content with the other pain. I never thought I would say that. :)Janehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04880509595317100208noreply@blogger.com
