Polymyalgia - Winning

It's been a while and a lot has happened.  Some of it so sad. It astonishes me when despite the saddest happenings the world still turns.  I have less idea of what life "is".  Is it even something?  I make sense to me as I write even if I don't understand.  I hope that makes sense to you.

My polymyalgia. Or this polymyalgia. Or this mystery polymyalgia. This disease polymyalgia.  But what is the definition of a disease? Do I qualify?
Anyway it is one to me.  A mysterious disease.

For a while I thought it was going,  just as all the experts say.  But then back it came.

BUT I am holding at 2mg of steroids.  It does not control the pain and stiffness but it is bearable.

The goods news I have found that swimming seems to relive it.  Even if stiff and sore I feel better and looser afterwards.  Quite chipper in fact

I am cycling regularly and in one week will be cycling with Sian, Vicky and Ali the Cycletta 42k bike ride.  I have regularly gone for bike rides and am now back to confident, much fitter, and even occasionally exhilarated.

The Weymouth big swim completed Sian and I have ginned up for the Big Yin monster swim in Loch Ness next year.

My weight. Yes we'll.  some successes.
I am 7 pounds lighter.  I feel better for this.
