Hi,
I was diagnosed a few months ago with lupus, antiphospholipid antibody syndrome, and now Meuniere's Disease. Clearly, my autoimmune system is having a field day! I even lost most of my field of vision in my right eye. That said, I am running a half marathon in a few weeks, doing a triathlon this Sunday, and will be training for a full marathon this fall. I do think it is harder for me to train (I'm out of breath more, tired, sore, than my compatriots), but it has been well worth it. I feel like if I stop, then this disease will have "gotten" me. Working toward good health is an ever evolving this for me, and I am not always successful, but I will keep trying. Emotionally, it has been enormously helpful.
Love to hear other's experiences.
