Thank you for your reply. I am afraid I am unable to do much in life now. I was flying paragliders 5 years ago and have always been active, doing a daily walk of at least 40 minutes. I also have type ii diabetes and am getting severe pain at night. Yes I do research my meds and suffer many of the symptoms applicable. I go to gym 2x weekly and enjoy driving and socialising with my friend. I have become bored with TV, and reading, was an avid reader. I still get pleasure from using my PC but cannot do the things I would like due to loss of motivation and muscle strength e.g. I cannot work at a work bench or get up from the ground easily. I don't talk on the phone for more than about 20 minutes.
Much of my problems can be attributed to age, but the idea of impending death does not do great things for morale. Used to inhabit Veterans website, but their problems, mainly being much more than mine just left me down so I opted out. I am very close to my 2 septaguinarian brothers an have an attentive wife, who does not like discussing my condition. I guess that's why I am here. To see how others are going.
