Keep on movin', and eating your veggies
All well and good until you can't. I have been saying this to my GP and co for a while now. Managed to get the treatment that made a difference and they stopped it as soon as it started working within week back at square one, I know what will work, but cannot make GP budge. The funny thing is it improves PD to a degree too, which was unexpected, and though never did improve the off time tight chest and brething problem I thought it would. Nevertheless it is considered of placebo value only. Yikes, when will they start listening to patients.
