      I understand about the chronic pain...have arthritis, and know I'm at a turning point, MUST get the weight off, strengthen/tone as best I can. We can do this together, okay? Take care of yourself this w/e. I'm going to my daughter's overnight, will bring my laptop but don't know if I'll be able to log on. If not, will be back tomorrow night sometime. Best to you.

      Hi Hope Thank you so much for replying to my message. I really can relate to you with all the pain. We dont know how ucky we are in the UK as we have free health care I know what u mean about hiding the pain. I welled up for days, feeling like bursting & last week I went & met my mother in Leeds market & took one look at her & burst in to tears. Well I sat there for an hour pouring my heart out. Crying, people walked past me looking at me but I was past caring. I feel like I cant do anything. Im 39, I have a walking stick, 2 stair bannisters & a guard around my toilet to help me!!! I feel awful moaning but it really does help. I know they are worse of than us but that doesnt help my situation. Sometimes it helps to be stubborn & tink of yourself occaisionally If you ever wanna moan then write back to me or email me on debsblair1970@aol.com. Please look after yourself x x x
