I teach first grade and used to dread sitting criss-cross with my kids because standing up was embarrassing. Six weeks on Regensil and I realized I’d gone the whole day without bracing on my desk to rise. It’s little, but it feels huge. I even carried book boxes down to the library without asking for help. That’s the win.

I feel 'myself again', i love it. Enough said.

Airport test: lifted my carry-on into the overhead by myself. Last year I couldn’t.

Photos used to be a no. My skin looks firmer and makeup doesn’t settle in lines the same. I look like me again.

Picked up my two-year-old granddaughter without that jolt of “be careful.” That moment was my yes to reordering.

Not a miracle, but mornings hurt less and I’m walking the block again. Ordering another month to see where it goes.

Played three pickleball games back-to-back. I iced after, but no next-day limp. That’s new.

I sing in a community choirstanding rehearsals used to wreck my back. Now I finish upright and not counting minutes.

Stairs without the sideways step. I didn’t realize how much I’d adapted until I didn’t have to.

Hands look younger. Nails aren’t splitting after gardening. Small vanity win, big mood lift.

Weekend trip: rolled my suitcase myself and didn’t crash after. That used to wipe me out for a day.

Grip strength came back—I can center clay again in pottery class. Didn’t realize how much I missed that.

Neck turns in yoga without bargaining with my body first. Feels like trust.

Wore heels to church and didn’t clutch the pew. Small miracle.

Took about 5 weeks to notice. Arms look less crepey now. Not dramatic, but I’ll keep going.

Added a second loop to the dog walk. Later realized I went upstairs without the handrail. That felt… young.

Back to doubles after sitting out two seasons. Elbow isn’t barking after serves anymore.

Caught my reflection and didn’t flinch. That hasn’t happened in a while.

Less “careful” getting in and out of the tub. Feels like my legs listen again.
