I am so proud of myself!
I feel like I am slowly coming back to myself. I still am dizzy and have headaches regularly, and I had migraines every week, but now I have drugs that actually help with them. I am seeing a chiropractor tomorrow to work on my neck, and I see a neurologist regularly. I haven't been able to exercise in 2 months and it has been killing me. Last week I decided to try some workout videos at home and survived, but had a migraine shortly after...grrrrr! Well, today I decided I was just going to keep pushing forward, and try to ignore my symptoms (not an easy task). I went to the gym and got on the treadmill. My goal was run a mile. I have a lot of anxiety with getting my heart rate up because I feel a lot of pressure in my chest and light headed (I do have something plastic in there you know!). Well, I hit a mile and was actually feeling pretty good, so I kept going. I ran 2.5 miles! I felt great, until I stopped. It took me about an hour to feel like the room wasn't spinning, but it was worth it. I am so proud of myself and hope I can continue moving forward.

YOu truly are inspiring.
wow! 2.5 miles is impressive, especially when you were only planning on 1!
Glad to hear you are feeling better! Don't overdo it! It takes me a few weeks to work up to 2.5 miles and I didn't just have surgery!
you're awesome! Way to go!
