exercise & tiredness

[Guest guest]

I was diagnosed with interstitial fibrosis in July of

2005. I had a lung biopsy in October of 2005 and

learned I have Non Specific Interstitial Pneumonia

Fibrosis. I was on steroids for six months but they

did not slow down or stop the progress of my disease.

In fact my lungs are worse now. I am on 50% oxygen at

6 liters. I gained weight on the steroids and have

only been able to lose a little. I get so tired when

I walk or do anything physical. I will have a few

good days where I can get a few things done but then I

have bad days where I am very limited. I am watching

what I eat but I need to get this extra weight off to

help my lungs and me but it is so hard to really

exercise when I can only walk up and down my driveway.

Have any of you with this disease learned any tricks

on exercise or help not being so tired so I can walk

longer?

Thank you,

Marie
