How hard do you push yourself in terms of exercise, and what happens when you over do it? A year ago I could walk 6km, and I would be tired, and it would be hard to do it two days in a row. Now I can only do 3 km at half the pace, and by the end my legs are like stiff sticks. And if I try to do that two days in a row, I become "I'm so tired I could cry" tired for a few days (so I don't do that anymore).
I've read that for ALS, over-exercising can speed up progression, but what about PLS? I've heard movement is important for PLS, and I've read you have to "use it or lose it". So how hard should I push...would I be better doing 1.5 km a day, or 3 km every other day, or every third day?
