I call it "low energy" which I think of as energy used by an active body making cells which require lots of energy? My first year with CLL I jogged and visited the gym 3 times a week at age 70 and I felt like I was 30 years old. Lots of greenish bruises on my legs and arms from gym & jogging activities. The past 6 months I just did lots of property work at home including cutting oak trees and splitting the wood to use to heat my house. I just returned to the gym and I plan to exercise 150 minutes per week. Last week I did 120 minutes. After 10 minutes my breathing changes like I was jogging? I am not out of breath but I do not know why I am breath more when exercising? take medication for my CLL and my WBC count is 6.9K and everything else is normal? Even with medication to control the illness I have read that the ill affects are still present? I read that eating healthy and exercising can help "control" the ill affects of this illness. I think having a good attitude can be a positive effect with this illness. I think those who have had this illness for a "long" time are amazing people. Happy New Year 2025 and I know there will be new medications to control this illness in the future.
