What a powerful and inspiring outlook! That kind of attitude resonates deeply with many people living with myeloma. Staying active and engaged isn't just good for the soul — research actually suggests that people with myeloma who keep doing activities they enjoy may cope better and potentially live longer too.
Many MyMyelomaTeam members feel the same way. Here are some ways members stay active while managing their condition:
- Golfing (with doctor's approval and some modifications)
- Chair yoga as a gentler alternative to regular yoga
- Water aerobics instead of swimming
- Walking regularly
- Physical therapy to help maintain activity safely
The key is working with your care team to find what's safe and enjoyable for you specifically. Adjustments may be needed along the way, but staying engaged in life is absolutely worth pursuing. It's also worth remembering that good nutrition, staying hydrated, and getting enough sleep can all help keep your energy levels up so you can keep doing the things you love. Keep that fighting spirit — it clearly suits you! 💪
