I have a desk job and have been struggling for years. With meds and taking a few hours off here and there, the whole day yonder, and so on, I was able to get by with a small group of supporters.

I finally requested my neurologist to fill out FMLA paperwork on my behalf. Despite every best effort, I have diagnosed diabetic polyneuropathy and my diet has been vegan for 16 months- lost 1/4 of my mass, 5.8 AiC, everything is still progressing.

For those on their feet or no ability to take time off in order to continue my admiration is boundless.

There is an ebb and flow. I think the shingles set me back. I can gain back what stamina was lost (I hope) but a slow road is wisest for me.

Best of luck,

Jon
