You are not alone and it's also not really so helpful, I'm guessing to know about how incredibly well others are doing. You are clearly having an unusual experience. I can walk unassisted but I have remaining inflammation upon any exertion almost 11 months later. Although I was never a marathon runner, I did try to stay fit until all of this started. I'm still trying but it's difficult. You are most definitely not alone. You are in my thoughts for sure. Good luck with your appointment and keep us posted.
