meredithbead The Divine Ms M Registered: 07/07/03 Posts: 4894 Loc: Orange County, California	Hardly any soreness from yoga. Somethings in the class seemed very easy, while others I couldn't do at all. I'm regaining mobility from my pulled hip/ sprained foot. Walked 2 miles today and not zonked out at all. Still can't go particularly fast, but hey -- speed was never one of my major assets anyhow. I'd like to get back to hiking the trails which I love, before the weather gets too hot. 3 weeks ago, when I spent 6 hours Saturday and 4 Sunday walking the trade (wholesale) show, I was so exhausted from hip pain, I think that's why I came down with a cold a few days later. Progress is slow, but at least it's progressing. _________________________ My handcrafted jewelry: limited edition designs more jewelry, plus bead supplies Poet and essayist

NewLeaf Member Registered: 12/26/05 Posts: 1066 Loc: Deland, Florida	Anno is right about acceptance versus resignation. Cancer patients know the difference. I just think its best to never give in and keep figthting and believing. I like visualization. Seems that if I can clearly see myself the way I want to be and act like I am that way already, my body follows. I've refused to accept pain in my shoulders and neck. I've refused all the negative messages regarding my body. Most of the time the invader seems to just disappear. Yoga and just keeping moving seems to be the ticket. I admire you for your spunk. Seems like you are doing all the right things, MB. _________________________ Aarikja Ann

Dianne Queen of Shoes Registered: 05/24/04 Posts: 6123 Loc: Arizona	Meredith, I'm doing Yoga not only to gain more flexibility but I have muscle damage in my right thigh from taking Lipitor. I can't believe the difference in mobility from one thigh to the other. I'm believing I will eventually get them even and limber. _________________________ If it doesn't feel good, don't do it twice. www.eadv.net Boomer Queen of Shoes

meredithbead The Divine Ms M Registered: 07/07/03 Posts: 4894 Loc: Orange County, California	Had my 2nd yoga class today and I'm still alive! Just joking here... GOOD NEWS!!! I saw my oncologist today, who said that from here on in, I really don't need to see him unless I relapse. (I'm in remission, not "cured.") So now I'm supposed to see my GP for a yearly check-up, and still do the yearly blood work (to look for metastasis) but that's it! And yearly bone density tests. The good news there is I've stabilized -- same mid-range osteopenia as last year and the previous. So whatever the hip problem is, it seems to be resolving itself. NewLeaf and Celtic, thanks for your heads up. I think I can work through most things except the (%!@&( migraines, where the only effective cure is decapitation. _________________________ My handcrafted jewelry: limited edition designs more jewelry, plus bead supplies Poet and essayist

NewLeaf Member Registered: 12/26/05 Posts: 1066 Loc: Deland, Florida	Wonderful news!! I'm happy for you. Migraines...the only thing that works for me is to lie down in a dark room after taking Excedrin migraine, with a heat pad on my head and sleep. Water is good too but not cold water, warm water. Here's hoping you get to keep your head!! _________________________ Aarikja Ann

chickadee Member Registered: 09/26/04 Posts: 3910 Loc: Alabama	Meredith, I think that this is great news also. Blessings. I used to have migraines years ago and they stopped after I got out of a stressful relationship. Have had a few bad headaches but not a full blown, hospital visit migraine in years. They are so debilating and (no pun intended) a real pain in the neck. Of course so was that relationship. What causes yours? Newleaf, if I heard a dog bark in the distance when I was in a dark room, it would irritate my headache further. Do you get sick as in throwing up? I did and it felt like my head was going to burst wide open.I really empathise with migraine sufferers. chick _________________________ chick ~ Here is the test to find whether your mission on Earth is finished: if you're alive, it isn't ~ ~ Prayer is the most we can do for another human being ~

NewLeaf Member Registered: 12/26/05 Posts: 1066 Loc: Deland, Florida	I would feel nauseous and dizzy. My neck and face would hurt so bad it was nearly unbearable. Strangely enough, if I actually COULD manage to throw up, I felt instantly better. Maybe mine was a food allergy?? _________________________ Aarikja Ann
