Twice, I was out walking this past summer,,I made it about 1/4 mile and it took me about 10 minutes to do that. I ended up in ICU both times due to respiratory distress because of a rare autoimmune disease I have..it sent me into a Myasthenia Gravis crisis. My muscles in my chest wall just couldn't do the work..not to mention the extra weight those muscles had to try and lift. Today,,I walked at 2 mph on my treadmill for a mile!!!!!..no distress, no pain,,just energy and enthusiasm. I just thank God that this is finally happening for me. Steroids put most of the weight on and by golly I'm going to fight to get this weight off and get well!!!

I too can relate to the steroid weight gain, that is where a TON of mine came from- I have rheumatoid arthritis and that was the main treatment that worked for my symptoms. Its very frustrating that the treatment for one thing can cause another problem! So glad that you have overcome the trials that you have been given and are perservering!
