I've still been swimming e/o day and walking in between. I apologize for slacking so much this past year, but have just been so busy with work and school.
4 days per week I get to watch my littlest grandson and on Saturdays we take the 5 year old to do something fun. I'm just finishing up my thesis for my MA, and starting my PhD program soon after.
My MD has quit giving me cholesterol tests because I've refused to take statins. Instead she's having me take garlic, D3, plant sterols, fish oil, and walk/swim 300 minutes per week.
Spondyloarthropathy, HLAB27 negative Humira (still methylprednisone for flares, just not as often. Aleve if needed, rarely.) LDN/zanaflex/flector patches over SI/ice vits C, D. probiotics. hyaluronic acid. CoQ, Mg, Ca, K. chiro walk, bike no dairy (casein sensitivity), limited eggs, limited yeast (bread)
Well, that last long flare that kept me in bed for 5 years gave me osteopenia in my hips. The swimming kept me strong, but my bones suffered. If it ever happens again I guess I'll have to take the narcotics 3X per week just to do weight bearing exercise.
Along the note of weight bearing exercise, I walked 3 miles today while pushing my 25lb grandson in his stroller.
I hope everyone is happy this fine February day/night. We are supposed to get snow tomorrow. Whoop!
Gooooooo TEAM!

Erica - sorry to learn of the ole bone problems. Suggest getting hold of the following book : 'Your Bones' by Lara Pizzorno. ALL about treating osteopenia and osteoporosis. I swear by it. Reversed my own osteo problems just by following here suggestions - non-pharma !
Onwards and upwards - y're a tone gal - take care -
I have been dealing with my A.S. for over 16 years. I started posting yoga routines, exercises, chi gung on you tube that I personally do to help my A.S. symptoms. I figured many people may not have access to exercise or yoga in there areas that can help A.S.
My A.S. has chnaged my level of yoga but I do it my way amd still love it. I used to be a personal trianer, did 12 years of martial arts and I am a yoga instructor. i plan to post more routines so if you want something specific leave me feedback and I will try to specific videos.

I hope everyone is outside (or inside) moving around to keep the stiffness under control. - well, more under control anyway.
I've been lazy this week, so last night I ended up with a muscle relaxer and have been kind of woozy all day.
Mostly I'm walking 6-10 miles per week and swimming 1-2 miles per week.
It's spring here in Colorado, so the weather agrees with me. During the heat of summer I'm usually trapped inside after 10am - so gotta enjoy every minute of the spring.
Goooooo TEAM AS!!!!
