Like everyone else here I went from very active to nothing so fast and it's been a 5 year journey to the correct diagnosis. Thank you so very much for your daily journal. It is one of the first things I found after my diagnosis and has been a tremendous help. Thanks to everyone else who comments too. You all leave me feeling stronger.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06709330056885238109noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-690850457652849477.post-52642953350366748192013-07-10T15:08:45.594-07:002013-07-10T15:08:45.594-07:00That looks like a beautiful park!

But with meds working and energy climbing, I'm starting to get a little back. You make me look forward to it, slow as I am!

Trying to correct that, I just ended up looking like a drunk.<br /><br />My neighbors haven't seen me outside of the yard in so long, they braked to watch me.<br /><br />I'm with you Julia. Sjogrens Stinks! You sure do get to a lot of beautiful places for girl that can't walk very far though.Shara from Seattlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04454085416180469172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-690850457652849477.post-15106736709758225162013-07-10T10:11:55.086-07:002013-07-10T10:11:55.086-07:00It is so hard to adjust to this illness, our bodie... It is so hard to adjust to this illness, our bodies won't cooperate with our minds! At first, every time I started to feel a bit better, I would overdo and end up back in bed. Kudos to you for trying, try again, and definetly rest even while on the walk. I stop, stretch, put my feet up.<br />My doctor doesn't think my excessive sweating is due to the Sjogrens, but it defintely showed up at the same time! Do many of your readers have this?

Find a bench or rock or log to chill out on for a little bit? If you felt so much better after a break in the hammock I feel like maybe it's just a matter of recharging. Though congrats on wrangling a curious dog while walking :)Jenny Phttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14870488565611786295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-690850457652849477.post-78404920760534536782013-07-10T08:36:22.096-07:002013-07-10T08:36:22.096-07:00Julia, you rock!

I can't do an hour like I used to, so I am trying do a couple small walks. About 15 minutes in the morning before work, 15 minutes at my morning break, and occasionally I can even do 15 minutes after work.<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14055854231333781028noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-690850457652849477.post-68211871100313435682013-07-10T04:37:03.987-07:002013-07-10T04:37:03.987-07:00Julia, you are commended for at least making the e...Julia, you are commended for at least making the effort. Since my diagnosis 3 years ago, I haven't resumed my daily after work walks (OK, maybe not "daily" but at least 3x a week). The Florida sun is brutal on my fair Sjogren's skin even with sunscreen. Your post pushed me closer to at least thinking about resuming them again. <br /><br />I really enjoy your posts.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03780782811333831190noreply@blogger.com
