Walking with LEMS (video)
I’ve kind of made it my mission to encourage those of us with LEMS to keep moving and get out there walking. My philosophy, use it or lose it. I know, sometimes you might feel exhausted and walking seems impossible. I have that happen too. But most days, I’m able to get out. I shot this video as entertainment, but know I’ve got LEMS too. I had to walk both sides of this town’s downtown to capture it. I hope you’ll make the effort to walk. For me walking is life.

Yeah @pricewool! Another video!!
You have such talent- Thank you for sharing it with us on the Forums! Grapevine looks like a very cool place. I’ve tried to do videos on occasion and they are horrible- I’ll stick with writing!
I walk Rocky the pug every day and often times I’ll see things and think “that would be a cool picture” but I don’t even bring my phone with me since getting my Apple Watch. I’m thinking I need to move someplace warm before the snow flies- I’m even more nervous about ice and snow this year than ever. The last thing I need is another fall. I think I’ll set up a treadmill for walking instead.
Thanks for sharing and keep on walking!

@dawn-debois thanks for the compliment. I just can’t stop walking, and I just can’t stop going out with a camera.
You really should take your phone out with you. It serves quite well as an everyday-carry camera when those moments pop up. And they do. I might be torn between one of these exercise bikes and a treadmill for winter exercise. 🙂 -
I love Grapevine. We lived in Irving for five years when we were first married. A beautiful town to explore by walking.

(Grapevine, not Irving)

I admire your willpower. You are right in that if we don’t use our muscles, they atrophy. Logically, I know I have to move to keep strength but just standing some days is hard. The top of my body feels so heavy for my legs. Then the less I move, the less I want to, the less I can..it just spirals. It is so hard to fight the exhaustion.

Oh, Wow! Couldn’t agree more Lori. It’s a goin’ place, Nd they cultivate the activities and traffic with restaurants and wine bars. Glad you liked the video!

I hate to hear it when people struggle so much. Hopefully, with a diagnosis, you can get on a plan that will help you recover much of what you struggle with now.
