-<blockquote>Very few have experienced any problems with Stage Five. I think it mainly gives trouble when pathogens other than the Th1 pathogens are present, and have escaped the antibiotics. I got hit when the fibrosis in my lungs began to remodel, but I doubt that anybody else in the cohort was afflicted with fibrotic tissue [[http://sarcinfo.com/xrays|as badly as I]]. Additionally, I hadn't been exercising (at all) during my recovery, so the remodelling began quite suddenly. On the other hand, the other early adopters have not had identifiable problems. We put out the documentation partly over an abundance of caution, and partly because we had to change the model to account for this (unexpected) glitch in recovery trajectory.+<blockquote>Very few have experienced any problems with Stage Five.

 Unless your X-rays show the degree of damage which mine did, you should be fine with a very nominal amount of exercise. Do not do anything which tires you out. Walking around the neighborhood in the late evenings is probably a good choice (depending on your neighborhood, of course). Unless your X-rays show the degree of damage which mine did, you should be fine with a very nominal amount of exercise.

 * There's confusion among members re stage 5, leading to fear of it from early in their MP journey. This page swings from painting a fearful picture of unrestrainable immune reaction to assurances that only some of the most ill experience this. It's self-contradictory as to whether the term 'stage 5' refers to anyone who continues to herx without abx, or only to those whose immune system is 'over-exuberant'.  --- //Julia 2009/01/31 05:20// * There's confusion among members re stage 5, leading to fear of it from early in their MP journey.

 * IMO, Stage 5 should refer to everyone who continues to herx without abx - i.e. their own immune system is functioning properly. Then there could be a warning that a few people have had this runaway reaction, while many are having a much more gentle stage 5.  --- //Julia 2009/02/04 17:51//  * IMO, Stage 5 should refer to everyone who continues to herx without abx - i.e. their own immune system is functioning properly.
