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.

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...

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.

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....
