After being off prednisone for much of the last 4 years, I look forward to my NEW normal.

My 12 years on prednisone for PMR were characterized by extreme fatigue, shortness of breath and an overall decline in health. I rather not look back on that except to share my experiences.

An exercise bike and treadmill is now okay for me too. Pickle ball is tempting and I may give it a try someday.

I don’t need to pace myself anymore. I thrive more with water exercise rather than land exercise. At least I’m able to exercise again.

I’m like a kid learning what I can still do rather than what I used to do.
