@fairydust up until 6yrs ago I used to do gym 3 days a week and walk in between, and even ride the exercise bike too. When my marriage fell apart and I moved with my kids, I had no time for exercise anymore having to work full time and rear them. I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia like 13yrs ago, so exercise was imperative to manage the pain. When I had a recurrence in 2015 the Chemo absolutely ruined me further. I had to learn to walk again that's how bad I was, Im 6 weeks post mastectomy/diep flap recon now and walking again which is great. BUT the ONLY thing I found that has really helped is an Exercise Physiologist, I've been seeing her since November last year and its a slow process but she's setting me up slowly for success. I could not have done it any other way, it wasn't a matter of dieting and jumping into exercise or going to the gym. I needed a Professional...for me it's the only thing that's made a difference, a life long one and recommend it to anyone. I have a way to go, and know I'll never be exercising the way I did 6yrs ago, but as long as Im reasonably mobile and can shift this 6kg that THANKS TO CHEMO I put on GRRRR!!! Best of Luck in what you choose to do...but this really works for me. :) Hugs Melinda xo
