To exercise or not to....

This is the question?

I think it depends what your symptoms are like now and how fit you were before you were ill. I would start with stretching and slow walking then increase things from there.

Ohh boy, I'm on the same two drugs and I exercise minimum of 90 minutes/day 6 days a week.

Thank you everyone for your responses!!!! They're very helpful.

I'm still pretty tired and achy most days, but just got back from Disneyland for 5 days without the total body breakdown I thought I'd have. We walked our butts off!! I had extreme leg cramps acouple of nights. But when you've spent alot of money you don't have to have fun, you push your way through the pain.

So, I guess I'm ready to at least start a daily walking plan. I think I need to get more serious about stretching too.

King, the Lyme kills your energy levels and makes you very fatigued. My stamina level is starting to increase now. I've been on meds for 4 months. But I still have real bad days were I'm totally slammed and just want to sleep and not move all day.

i wish that i could get back into my cardio routine....when i first got sick i was going to the gym in the morn but then i would sleep right after and not feel better....but i think now i mite try to do some short walks around the neighborhood or on the treadmill and try to start lifting again soon but with very very light weights...my body is so achy and my knees hurt so much that its hard to exercise.

but i do believe that a lil stretching and short walks can help us mentally and physicly....just dont over do it and listen to your body :0)
