I'm really proud of you for keeping with it, Sue! I know it makes you feel better. I am still hitting the pool 3 times a week. I walk the dog every morning for about 15 minutes. It's not much of a walk, but it's better than nothing. Some day I'm going to measure how far it is. My knee is usually complaining by the time we get back to the house.

I have been doing the Leslie Sansone walking DVD's and this week I stepped it up to the 2 mile but haven't made the 2 mile yet, can get to 1.5 and my legs are like jello so just leaving it at that for a few more and then hopefully I will make it to 2 miles. The pred has done a number on my muscles and the dr said I am one of his most severe reactors to it, I have the fat face and the hump at the back of my neck still and I am down to 10 mgs, but as long as I keep moving it's all good. I do upper body on the alternate days.

Doing great, Colleen. As long as you keep moving, that's the important thing. The Prograf takes away muscle, too. That's why it's so important to exercise. Have you had a DEXA Scan for your bones? Pred is so bad for them.

Funny you should ask, the arthritis dr ordered a Vit D blood test, came back LOW so have to do 50,000 IU's a then repeat and yes he did order a DEXA scan and I had one pre tx so we should be able to see a difference if there is one. I have to call TX tomorrow about the Vit D to get their OK before I take it.
