Guest guest Posted October 29, 2006 Report Share Posted October 29, 2006 Thanks, CArol Adrienne Re: Akers Adrienne, I am so glad to hear that you are exercising with a PT. I hope that if you hits some bumps in the road you don't get discouraged and give up. Just know when your body needs a rest and listen to your body. If your eyes start to burn or your hands turn ice cold, or your throat hurts more than a tickle, you are doing too much. I always get brain fog from working out, and I do it for a living! If you rest afterwards, it will pass. When my nose gets a little stuffy, I know it is also time to stop. When I first began exercising again, I found ENADA to be useful if I got fatigued and too much brain fog. Also, I take Jarrow reduced L glutathione. Many people don't believe in taking it in capsule form, but I know for sure that it works for me. I hope your insurance gives you enough sessions to learn how to exercise safely so you can continue yourself afterwards. Also, if you need a week off after a while, just take it, and then resume.

Guest guest Posted October 31, 2006 Report Share Posted October 31, 2006 I was so so sick with this illness for 9 mths (bedridden) yet looked very good (I was young and extremely fit before i got ill, so I guess that helped too). My exercise I think would of been the thrashing I did during the night at times while sleeping or trying to cause i was in so much discomfort and pain, maybe the muscle spasms when we are getting them bad enough can help our bodies look good too??? just a thought... > > > > When I was still very sick, I also looked wll conditioned, and > hated hearing > > that!! > > > > Carol in LI, NY > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 1, 2006 Report Share Posted November 1, 2006 After further discussion, I have to say there is so much variability in this disease I can't say with certaintly what Akers did or didn't have. I am still concerned that to the public at large, the Akers example diminishes the perceived severity of this disease, no matter how many times she explains it.

Guest guest Posted November 1, 2006 Report Share Posted November 1, 2006 Apparently you guys missed Ken's message that this topic has been pulled from discussion a couple of days back. ??? It's way off topic of experimental treatments.... respectfully, Dan > > > > > > When will people stop talking about Akers?
