ticMan, I truly understand. I have been on a low dosage chemo since November 2009. It is used to decrease the inflamation in my body which has an affect on the auto-immune system and treat the severe psoriasis, psoriatic arthritis, and multiple sclerosis. I take either an injection or oral tablets. Both are terrible. One doc suggested giving the chemo intravenously once a month; the other doc disagreed and said I must have a dose once-a-week in order for the treatment to effect. I only use light weight dumbbells and barbells. I load half my body weight of the Hammer Strength machines. I also have access to an underwater treadmill at physical therapy. I worried about using the underwater pool because of the heat and MS patients are often heat senitive. When I don't use the underwater treadmill, I run laps in the lap pool. Again, your efforts are truly inspiring. Keep up the good work. Wishing you a happy and healthy 2012!
