My calf muscles and forearms have been two of the most troublesome areas musclewise since this all started. Besides supplementing the best thing I have done for them is moderation of activity.

I know too little is bad, but for quite some time I was doing perhaps too much. That lead to extra stress and problems. I used to park a mile away from work and considered that my daily exercise, now I am half that distance, if that.

I spent around two years pushing myself to a limit of sorts, which I think lead to the shingles last year. At any rate it caused me to look hard at how close my foot was to the floor of the car and whether I was getting results.

At the moment winter is kicking my butt. However, I am making it through more days of work than I was at this point last year and while certain symptoms are worse somehow I have managed to develop a system to eek out some restful sleep. Half the time I think it is exhaustion, but I've earned it. Thankfully my wife agrees.
