Thanks Jon, you too.

The word I was trying to think of was Cachexia. I don't know if it applies or not but the symptoms are certainly present along with all of the others.

Many of us here experience frustration with the medical care that we receive, myself included. I got the impression from my doctor that he feels that I have become inactive by choice when he told me I need to exercise more. I agree! But I have not been athletic most of my life to reach my mid 40s and decide to give it up and become osteoporotic. I am as physically active as I can be which is not much these days I admit but here is no choice in the matter.

Sorry for the rant. Two days ago I was on my deathbed, yesterday I was almost symptom-free and felt pretty good and today I have a lot of numbness, loss of balance and coordination. Based on that, how is one supposed to plan a life (and additional workouts)?
