Hi Dubious and loretta for your resonses,,,everything is helpfull,it not only helps us to physicaly deal with it , but mentally too,, Its nice to hear from you two,,,dubious you can believe that shiny skin is RSd,ive two legs that look like they have either been polyurethane'd or have beed clear coated by someone while i was sleeping. As for the pulse,,Mine is a little higher but that could be from lack of activity,,but what scares me is my Diastolyc number sometimes goes higher and then theres days that both my bloodpressurennumber are really low,,,,,And loretta,,,Ive not been in the pool for a few months,,but it does feels good and it does seem to help as long as i know when to get out before over doing it,,i enjoy the aqua jogging,,,Ive notice too that after i get out of the pool and shower off[shower water is warmer than the pool,] my feet and ankles turn black and purple [moving around] likie a lava lamp,,but calm down soon after im out of the water,,,thank you both for your replies....may the lord give you both a remission,,,,,,,bobber
