Autoimmune Diseases and Fatigue

I believe similarly when it comes to autoimmune diseases. One of mine caused stage 3 liver cirrhosis. I was blessed with a liver transplant, but have developed numbness, tingling, and pain in all extremities and fatigue due to another, related autoimmune disease.
I’ve set strict diet rules and a walking goal of at least two miles a day. Morning walking is the way to go. I’ve found both my diet and walking goals are getting easier to stick with as time goes on.
Continue to take pride in your discipline and meeting your daily commitment for health!

@athenalee Hi, Athenalee. Like you, I've got 3 or 4 autoimmune diseases and as you know from your extensive experience with them, there forever seems to be something serious to take care of! I totally agree with you that diet and exercise (walking, for you and I) are primary to our care. Morning is the only time that's good for my walking regime too, when my always low energy might be at it's best. Congratulations on doing two miles a day!! My best, before recent hospitalizations since April, was 1.3 miles, and I'm going to start today to work my way back up to that goal. As @jakedduck1 says, "inch by inch, one step at a time". Yesterday, first 2 days after ditching my wheelchair, I did a very modest 454 steps. Today, maybe a bit more? Good luck with your journey toward better health. Laurie
