I tried. I did. Dercums Disease, what I have, is very rare. I can go to an ER for another reason and the doctor has to look it up.
I ended up in a flare of PAIN after two days. This happens after everything I try including yoga. The stretching and deep breathing feel so good at first but then those muscles fight back.
I tried pilates. I can say that.
I walk a couple miles with my dog Tanner almost every day. I will keep up with that. Live in the tranquility of when I can walk in the mountains and swim in Lucky Peak here near Boise Idaho.
Thank you for showing this practice to me and everyone
Hi Rebecca – thank you for sharing this. ❤️ It sounds like where you live is very beautiful and that you have a healthy routine with Tanner – enjoy those walks in the fresh air! ?
Trying counts because it fosters hope. Hope is a way of believing in and nurturing Future You. I have to believe My chronic illness is a gift. I wish you the best with yours.
❤️❤️ Wishing you the best as well, Tracy!
