I thought it would be fun to share a photo with you all. So to help with my over all well-being I have taken up western pleasure riding lessons once a week. Let preface this with the activity is strenuous and does trigger mals pain- for me exercise brings on pain. I do believe it has to do with my underlying vascular disease along with scar tissue from surgery, however with that comes a great escape from all pain. That one hour on the horse, connecting and learning has been invaluable. Staying active is so difficult when you are malnourished and feeling unwell. I do have times when I have to cancel lessons due to symptoms. And when I miss a week I find that the rest of my week is difficult. Just wondering what activities you all are able to tolerate, what brings you joy and escape from the chronic symptoms?
