Hi
I didn't mean my comment to be taken as an extreme.
Many PALS think that they will slow progression by doing as much as possible and even taking on exercise programs. This will indeed hasten progression.
I have written in other recent threads about how muscles work, so in short - if a healthy muscle is damaged then it repairs itself, and exercise to build muscles works by causing micro tears in the muscle, causing the repair process to build increasing amounts of muscle. So if a PALS over exerts any muscle and causes micro tears, the muscle cannot rebuild and so the tiny tear is another bit of muscle that is now dead.
Hope that makes sense? Tillie
