Health Matters

It's three weeks since I went back onto my medication and things are still heading in an upward direction. It's slow - but sure. The hot flashes have stopped - thank goodness. I am sleeping better, and am still needing quite a lot of rest. I find I am getting very tired, which are the anti depressants still finding their equilibrium within my system. I know that will still take a few weeks to settle down, meanwhile I am just relishing in the ability to be able to get to sleep, stay asleep, and get back to sleep when I get up to the loo, which is sometimes twice a night with the hotter weather and an increase in water consumption. On another upside, I went back to the gym today. I have been doing some yoga and stretch work at home since last week, because my legs and hips felt so sore and awfully stiff. I don't want to be old and not be able to move, I know I have to keep the flexibility up otherwise it will go - and the chronic pain will set in. The yoga class was great, but even better was the fact that I walked through the doors of the gym again. I restarted my suspended membership and changed it back to an aerobic membership rather than a gym one. If I can only get there twice in one week, so be it, I am finished beating myself up about not getting there 'enough'!! Who knows, when my fitness levels increase I will go back to dancing too. Just at the moment, nights at home are far more tempting and inviting and more restful.

I am very pleased with my progress so far........stay tuned for further developments.
