Exercise is so important

Thanks for starting the group in Strava. I'll join later today after I complete my walk. I have one request - could you change the name of the group to "Beating POLYMYALGIA and GCA"? I have both conditions.

I haven't posted anything on Strava in quite a while. I walk, jog, and hike for exercise. I'm 71 now, but when I was in my late 40s and early 50s I was a national class age group runner in the US. I developed my first autoimmune disease, Hashimoto's hypothyroidism, in my 50s, and that impacted my ability to train hard. But I still love to run and train. I look forward to seeing what other people with our diseases are doing to stay healthy.

I'm currently at 5 mg prednisone per day and take weekly Actemra injections. I feel better with every step down on the prednisone.

Good luck with your challenges!
