Guest guest Posted June 17, 2008 Report Share Posted June 17, 2008 " Normal " is over-rated. Though not that I'd know. I think normalcy is something we strive for, but will probably never acheive. It's like a hope for something better than what we have now, especially for us. : ) I don't need your authority Down with the moral majority ....There of which I stand alone A face in the crowdUnsung, against the mold Without a doubt Singled out - ¡Minority¢ Green Day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted August 27, 2010 Report Share Posted August 27, 2010 Re: phuzaxeman 777 and an active lifestyle > I was very active my whole life, running, lifting weights, pick up sports, hiking, and pretty much anything that was considered an active lifestyle. Since last August, I had a major flare, I have had to adjust my lifestyle dramatically. I engaged the support of my physiotherapist, a former olympic athlete, and she helped design a work out routine that utilized 30 minutes of stretching followed by a workout of light weights, with lots of reps, coupled with cardio on a stationary bike and/or an elliptical machine. Not only was it beneficial to my joints, I lost about 25 lbs of muscle mass in the process. It took a while to get used to the workout routine, but it sure helped with mobility and the de-stressing of my mind and body. As for the psychologist, yes I arranged to see a psychologist who validated my struggles with the disease and that I was approaching the significant life changes in a healthy way. It was sure nice to get some positive feedback on something that had altered my life forever. I get down once and awhile, but I just reflect back on where I was last year and where I am today. I may not be as active but I am leading a healthy lifestyle within the confines of this dreaded disease and I keep battling and marching to my own drummer. Hope this helps.
