One doctor recommended to me that I start exercising 1 minute every day for a week, then increase it to 2 minutes every day if I feel able. After that he said to continue increasing by 1 minute every day each week as I feel able to and to stop increasing once I reach 10 minutes a day.

He said that any exercise would work. I tried it and it worked well, the problem was that I got sick and got out of the habit, so I need to start up again.

I exercise regularly. I have for years. Right now I'm on the treadmill 2 days a week, and I was taking a water exercise class 2 days a week ... but I will be stopping the water exercise, as I don't feel like it's giving me much of a workout. And, at age 45, I am the youngest person in the class ... I just don't feel I fit in. In it's place, I'm thinking of taking a yoga class.

I have always exercised ... even when I hurt ... and even when I was fatigued (prior to diagnosis). I am still exercising now after having been diagnosed a little over a year ago. The only thing that's really changed is that my joints hurt and I find the treadmill to be more torturous. But, I persevere!!

I have never exercised lol. Its difficult when you don't feel well and are in pain.

Once, many years ago, I hired a personal trainer and worked out diligently for many months and you know what? I NEVER FELT GOOD. People always say "oh you'll feel so much better". It never happened for me. I never felt better physically nor did it give me any energy...it just sucked. Needless to say I never worked out again lol

I regularly exercise--it helps with pain and beleive it or not energy. I spin 3-4 times a weeks and lift weights 2-3 days a week. I do get more muscular pain than others but I stretch and rest. I have always exercised in some shape or form I believe that it was has kept me healthier had I not.
I rest a day or two after my IVIG before I exercise. Dehydration is the biggest concern after IVIG. But I think that whatever you can do to keep your body limber and strong is beneficial along with a good diet of lots of fruit and vegetables. Blessings

Okay, so I guess Im lazy compared to some of you. I haven't been able to exercise for the last year. My pain and fatigue is chronic. It is especially bad the week before and after my IVIG. That is also the time I get infection now too. PS, I have gain 25lbs this year. Part from the steroids I have been on all year and also from sitting around doing nothing all day.

So, I don't exercise. I am planning on going on a diet starting the new year and working out with the WII .
