Is it? Or isn’t it?

Since being diagnosed last June i have found that I tend to overdo it when I start to feel good and then I pay for it the next few days and it sets me back. I have also found that the longer I have been on Prednisone the quicker it affects my muscles when I am overdoing it. PMR is a frustrating situation with lots of ups and downs and the lesson I am slowly learning is that SLOW and steady is the answer for me when in regards to exercising and tapering. Wish I had known this last June and perhaps I would be further ahead today. But I'm an active person and patience in getting going is not my strong suit 🤷‍♀️

I'm just now starting to understand that my body doesn't tolerate flaws in my running form like it used to. Those flaws can overload certain muscles and cause strains. I'm working through it by doing regular strength training and also focusing on maintaining good form while I'm running. Hopefully continuing to taper the prednisone will help my muscles be stronger, more flexible, and more tolerant of exercise.
