muscles

what is helping me is to get on a bike and ride every other day 1st day i went for 5 minutes. thought i was going to pass out. squirrels were passing me. yesterday rode for 20 minutes average speed. still leg burn in thighs but i dont care anymore.

yes, please be careful. Just make sure your symptoms don't get worse. But good for you for having the willpower! the same thing happened to me. when i had just finished treating lyme, everytime i exercised my legs would burn afterwards. But i ramped it up slowly but surely - type of exercise was biking or hiking. I could not for the life of me do any high cardio such as running, or else I would automatically get sick. As the time progressed, my endurance increased, and now 2 years later I am working out at a gym with weights and I am stronger now than I was before I had lyme. I truly believe exercise is The second best treatment, so as long as you do it little by little. Keep us posted!!!

Wonderful your heart and spirit! Adding yet another voice about going slow when it comes time to building one's strength back up. You'll be able to gauge for yourself by your symptom level and fatigue. If you feel like things have gone way south after a day of errands or a work out - you know you've done a bit too much - scale back a bit next time around. At least, that is what worked for me.
