Hello @colleenyoung My mobility varies from day to day. I need assistance walking in any open spaces. I wish I could say I do something to help maintain mobility but I basically try to make it through the day without having to hug the wall or asking for someone's assistance. It is purely stiffness that makes it unsafe for me walk for fear of falling. I have range of motion in my legs when I am in my home, I do stretches in the morning and at night. And I do this because it makes me feel good not so much for mobility. I have not had a lot of guidance with managing this disease accept for medication. I was trying IVIG until my insurance denied because of lack of randomized clinical trials. I have not had it in over 18 months. IVIG seemed to help me at lower doses to return to my normal.
I appreciate you inviting others into the conversation.
