I hope you become centenarian. I used to visit with a gal many years ago that was 107 years of age. She was an inspiration to me. She also had heart surgery. Thank you for sharing. I make it a point to walk a 1.5 miles everyday, and that has helped me.

If your not doing heavy manual work you probably will be fine

I am sorry to hear that. Just reading your comments I wouldn't have guessed you suffered with pain, but dialogue on the web is limited. People who see me know that body my is broken down. I take Norco #10s and I still wince when I move, or I am hunched over. I have had depression for years. I don't know what mental problems you have, but walking a mile and half a day helps my body and mind and spirit. Thanks for sharing.

@Leutrelle Since I changed my diet over a year ago my fibro symptoms have disappeared. It was like magic.

@stinkeye_a What do you eat, or not eat. That sounds powerful and I would like to hear.

@Leutrelle eliminated dairy and gluten. The first time I heard "so-and-so improved their fibro by eliminating dairy and gluten" I rolled my eyes. The second time I heard it I rolled them even harder. The third time I wondered. The fourth time, I tried it. I started feeling better almost immediately and was pretty much symptom free after four months or so. Nothing else save for weed and, to a lesser extent, hydrocodone had ever worked. Over the summer I accidentally consumed gluten from some flour-covered dates in a trail mix--tiny amount--and I was miserable for three days. It's no joke. Im not going around saying this is the cure for fibro, just that it worked for me. Like magic. Unbelievable, unexpected, inexplicable, free magic.

@stinkeye_a I have warning signs for diabetes. I have to give up milk and any refined products which include flour. Maybe it will help with my pain. I wish my brain chemistry could tolerate Weed I happy for you: all that pain you had is gone. That must be euphoric. I am sure your mind and spirit will heal in due time. Thanks for sharing.
