The physical therapists working with me have helped a lot with strengthening back and leg and tummy muscles; BUT I am just wasted for 3 days afterwards....I am going to ask if they have done any research on working with a Diabetic with CHF and auto-immune disorders....Friday they upped the sets and then an hour and a half later while in the grocery store I hit the wall and had to come home....felt like I was moving thru molasses as I tried to walk thru the house from room to room!! This can't be "normal" can it? They feel if I have tired muscles that is a a good thing, but it is more like an all over fatigue that I just can't shake. They don't seem to get it, tho. BTW, they are in their 20's and 30's and real nice, but I am wondering if how I feel is productive....any PT "experts" out there in MC-land with an opinion?
We are going to the coast tomorrow for my 69th B-day and our room faces the ocean and has a fireplace so we can leave the slider door open & hear the waves at night while we sleep....heaven!!! We haven't gone anywhere since I got sick so I am thrilled to be going.... so I will check back in when we return on Wed.

Wow, Have you asked your Doctor or PT's about it? I know when I had PT for knee replacement I felt like I weighed 300 lbs. I certainly hope you feel better soon.
Maybe while you are on the coast you can relax and feel better. Happy Birthday and have a good time/
Love Oma
May I be more compassionate and loving than yeterday*and be able to spot the idiots in advance
Hi Sunny,
I can't remember if you're taking Entocort or not? When I was taking it, I was doing a pretty rigorous exercise regimine and found I would hit a wall. I posted questions about that months ago. Sore muscles, major fatigue, etc. It would take me a couple of days before I could exercise again. Just wondering. Have fun on the coast! Seaside or Cannon Beach? We love both and are planning on Seaside in August.
Have fun,
