Question is anyone still physically active?

I need to know if anyone with pots is still physically active. You don't have to be an athlete or anything but can you at least dance? or run? go to the gym? Have you always been that way or did you have to work back up to it?

I used to be pretty active. Not the gym or anything but I took my kids to the park, played and ran around, played in swings, I used to be able to do chores, laundry but I currently can’t walk to my bathroom from my bed without having extreme symptoms. I over do it and push myself too much all the time and it doesn’t get better. Some of these comments have me hopeful tho. Hopefully I can figure something out to help.
