ET with Jak2 and allergies/fatigue

@jodyjazz I agree that the line between giving up and moderating is challenging. I'm currently struggling with bicycling. I was an avid road cyclist beginning in my 40s and until I started experiencing hip pain about 6 years ago, which has since been diagnosed as arthritis. Bought an e-bike which allows me to better manage hills but I haven't quite mastered the weight difference between my old road bike and this new bike which is twice as heavy. So, I ride a nearby trail occasionally which isn't nearly as much fun and I am tempted to just give up and sell the bike. The fatigue that comes along with an illness like ET and the medication for it also requires I don't workout as hard at the gym so moderation/modification have become my favorite words.

Haha, I hear you!! Moderation is one of my least favorite words; next to "waiting" my very least favorite word. The key, IMHO, is to keep putting one-foot-in front of the other until you can't.
Until I turned 75, I was taking no medication and still snorkeling and kayaking. Before that an avid horse rider, water skier, sky diver, and dirt biker. No mas! But one-foot-in-front of the other.
