“Unfortunately for some people here, exercise makes them worse, etc”
I’m sorry brother but I have to disagree with some of the things you said as well. I have even used the excuse that exercise makes me worse, but have I really stuck to an exercise regime for more than a few months before giving it up? I haven’t, and I think for a lot of us here, we haven’t given a lifestyle change/workout plan an honest try. We try it for a while, and it hurts our bodies and it feels like we’re going backwards, so we quit. It’s the easy way out to try something for a few months or a year, then discredit it as not working because you don’t get the fast results you want. I have been guilty of this many times. A lot of us on here are our own worst enemy.
If we actually took a poll of the amount of guys that stuck to a strict, everyday routine that focused on diet, lifestyle, and a workout plan for multiple years at a time, I can bet the number would be low. I think the key that surfer is trying to get across is that this took him YEARS of doing this everyday. Almost none of us have that kind of discipline.
I’ll be the first one to say that I haven’t ever given something like this an honest shot, and I’ve had this for 8 years. We’re all looking for a simple fix. A medication we take for a few months that normalizes our brain and we live happily ever after. Truth is, I don’t think that’s an honest reality. We have to be real with ourselves and understand that even though these medications may have only taken 3 days to royally screw up our lives, it could take 3 years of an everyday routine to get us back to where we need to be.
The only cures I have ever heard of online, all have a common denominator. Workout routine, strict diet, and consistency. Most of us haven’t really given it an honest shot, and I think we owe it to ourselves to see it through. How badly do we wanna be healed? If we want it bad enough, we should be willing to do anything to get it.
Thank you @Surfer for your testimony. It may just be the tool I needed to kick my ass into high gear. Ive HATED going to the gym with a passion my whole life, but maybe if I would give it an honest shot, I would Gain back the last 10-15 percent I need for a full recovery. I feel I’m getting there little by little. I’ve been putting off the gym and strict diet for many years and had I addressed
These issues sooner, maybe I could be back to 100 percent as well. Congratulations on your recovery sir. I hope you continue to post here and inspire those that are suffering from this horrible disease.
