All things must pass . . .

I know I have been gone for some time now. There was not much to say. I was in a stage where I could exercise, and I felt great. Now, things have changed again.

For the last two years in fact, I have been able to exercise effectively, going from very few pushups originally, to a high of 130. And for about the last year, that amount has averaged above 100. Now, well- I am in a bit of a downward slide.

It started with a bit of shakiness in my lower back and thighs. But the pushups were not impacted at that time. Then pushups dropped to 100 for the first time in a year. Then I did 100 one more time, but it was not feeling good at the end. The next time I was down to 95. Look at him, complaining he can only do 95 pushups. Ah, but the next day it had dropped to 87. Muscles don’t feel right after exercise. It takes way longer to recover from exercise.

I hope it turns out I am worrying about nothing.  I still feel good. I have no pain. And usually, an attack of Hereditary Neuralgic Amyotrophy starts with some amount of pain. Maybe I do not have pain because I had been exercising? Could be. But, pain doesn’t always occur in attacks, anyway. It could also be that I will not bottom out as weak as I did the last time. That had been a major attack, with pain.
