I too am amazed at how much difference even minimal ‘exercise’ makes. I can only manage a few slow rotations of a mini peddler – far too few and to slow to class as any kind of exercise for a healthy person yet it has started to reverse years of muscle wastage.

I hear you. It’s amazing the results you can get just from doing a little and that small (or big in our case!) effort is definitely worth it

AMAZING progress! You should be proud! I know how hard it is to lose weight, especially when chronic health issues are thrown into the mix.

This was uplifting! I was with you where since I couldn’t do upright, intense exercise I might as well not bother. So not true!!

It really is a scandal. Seems some big powers that be oppose it but nothing seems to be done about it. The BMA have called for it to be stopped too. Cut it from the very rich, the bankers and the large tax avoiding companies, not those who have no choice but to depend on it.

Absolutely! My Dr said about not ‘resigning’ myself to it but I’ve been like this for 17yrs and had milder problems since I was tiny, I know no different. This is my normal unfortunately. It’s vital to accept it otherwise you could end up depresed or worse. Find the things you are able to do and make the best of the life you do have. The world is full of different lives, ours is just one of them. I would not have a clue if I suddenly became well over night, where on earth would you start being ‘normal’ !

The manner in which the benefit reforms are being conducted are nothing short of criminal. Even amnesty internatational have started to speak out against them. I am all for supporting people back to work if they are able, but there is no support, and most people in the WRAG are not fit to be working. Even if the were, what employer would take on disabled people with additional needs at a time when there are so few jobs even for perfectly healthy people? Until there are some kind of sanctions for Atos making wrong decisions, they will continue causing inexcusable stress and harm to vulnerable people.

I spent so many years wondering what I’d be doing right now if I wasn’t sick. Then one day I realised I’d been ill for so long I couldn’t begin to imagine a ‘normal’ life anymore; being ill IS normal now. Of course we’d love to do the things that other people do, but if we spend all our time grieving for things we’ve lost, or striving for what we can’t have otherwise we would never get on with the things that we can do.
