I think it is really bad for you.

THere's been na lot of back and forth about it, but the other side is bullshit, as far as I'm concerned. Same government types that shut down serious research.

And if you DO exercise, you're supposed to do it under careful supervision of someone who knows how to judge your limits. You're supposed to establish that by exercising until you're tired, and then never doing more than something one-tenth of that.

Find a way to do just enough to maintain your strength, but any more and you are seriously harming yourself.

The only people who ever seem to get over this disease are the ones who basically go to bed when they get sick and stay there for a few years. People like me, who keep going, exercising, tryhing -- we never get better. I've been mostly in bed now for years, and it's all still going downhill.

Although, there are some symptoms that have gone. Muscle weakness is much better. But I can't do anything. Honestly. Can't clean up my room. Forget about it.
