Weakness won't go away

I tell myself I’m older than I was, I’ve gotten out of shape during this spate with PMR, and I have learned the importance of rest. But now just a month off Pred., I am really needing to reapproach my best life in a new way. Yes to balancing stretches to aerobics to rest. All important. I’ve been continuing my water walking throughout but adding in land walking today. I have recently added back in my own version of mat exercises (recalled from yoga, PT, Pilates). Just movement and rest. Let’s see how far into recovery we can go. Given another post today, I will add vit D3 back into my self-care routine.

Yes, my path exactly and it’s been working 🤞
10wks post prednisone stop, and 28 wks on Kevzara.
And yes, “I tell myself I’m older than I was….”
Well said.

@kereno
PS: I must add, I have had a lot of dark days filled with lows. At no time did I ever believe I would/could see a return to “my old self” as I knew it.
WRONG….hang in there everyone and keep fighting!
