HEY Rhoda!
I too have multiple things going on. You sound very close to me, Bi-Polar, and so forth. I am 55 over weight and my mind is young but not my body. I used to get up on a chair easy and now I can barely do it or not at all. I don't know what degree mine is in(spine) but I know it is not REAL bad. I have bone on bone and narrowing of spine to where my nerves are being pinched off. The neuro told me last week that he couldn't help me. Pretty sick! As it is getting harder and harder to walk or drive. He didn't even tell me what I could do to make it better or pain meds or any thing. What a quack! So I am going to seek out a second opinion. Bunch of crap if you ask me.
Never feel alone cause there are tons of caring people here. I too am new to this sight. I use to belong to the first Braintalk. But it crashed so I am hearing. Anyway want to chat, drop a line. Angels
