every week I go roller skating at a rink. the
roller skating brings balance,and exercise along
with 4 hours of forgetting about lyme...it is
alot of dance on skates and figuring the moves
with your friends is the most powerful part. we
overcome out problems together..when you go
skating for the first 15 times you will not feel
good when you start but you will notice that your
leggs and muscles will start to get real strong..
some of the skaters have lupus and other things
going on but that never stops us from having the
greatest night out with friends..sometimes you
may be herxing and have to sit the nite out but
the next week when you are on the up swing you
will skate your butt of like you are a kid again!
so no matter what your age you can do it..check
with your doctor first! also wear knee pads if
your not that good..I will post a video of us all
together doing a routine that will blow your mind
we are profesionals that started when we were
very young..we have all skated together since
high school! the dance is old school disco and
new disco that replaced it..if you go to a rink
it is called jam skating where you form a chain
and skate fast moving your feet to your friend
in front of you.. in all seriousness I would
never miss a session as it is the time of your
life! at the end of the session you may say hey
were did the lyme go? so that is how I do it.
I am from nyc and we have skating every
weekend in central park along with a dj and
crowds of people skating and also watching the
skaters latests moves..also there is couple
skating that rocks the world as friends skate
backwards together mastering the dance..the
dances take a while to learn and changes your
mind set from thinking about lyme to thinking
about asking a girl or guy to skate and
learning how to dance and I really mean dance
to the music in sinc...so there you go this is
old school roxy from the city that never
sleeps.. erc

WOW...That sounds incredible...very productive and lots of fun.. It reminds me of when I used to go disco dancing back in the 80's when i was really, really sick.
You're right it got my mind off of the symptoms and was a lot of fun. It usually put me to bed for a week, but it helped me take my mind off of it for a couple of hours. Would love to see a video of your skating.
Thanks,
Gael

Fun to read thanks for sharing! A couple years ago we had a birthday party at the skating rink for my daughter. I hadn't been skating other than rollerblading in years. I went with the old school roller skates and just like you said, I felt like a kid again it was great. It was the best party we ever had.
