I have CFS ( Chronic Fatigue Syndrome ) which effectively means that the
brain messaging systems is totally stuffed. Basically it is being told
that

Ah one of those it-hurts-when-you-do-it-but-if-you-don't-it'll-hurt-more
things iIuic :-(

And then some but the choice is to be bed bound for msot of the time and
that just is not me.


Basically I have to do things when the body allows, bit like marriage but
this way it is my body that is telling me to sod off and sit down. No
physio
for me, if I am going to have to suffer the pain of exerting myself then
it

Physio's don't just provide exercise, they can also advise on how to
minimise stresses if you *have* to do something that's gonna hurt.
Sportsmen and musicians, for eg., are going to go on using the
muscles/joints they damaged so seek advice on how to do so with minimum
impact.


Used to be a motorcycling rugby player, not at the same time of course
although that would have been interesting, so I alerady had a few stretching
and limbering up exercises to keep things moving as they also tend to cramp
up when I do exercise. The other down side to limited acticvity is weight
gain and I was never a small framed person. Add the CFS the extra weight and
laready damnged joints from rugby and motocycling and I am very much a
hobbling wreck but I keep smiling and joking and fishing. It has been said
that with my attitude I will fight them when they nail the coffin lid down.
Morelike I am jsut too damn stupid to know when to give in.VBG

Had it for nearly 20 years and known what it was for 15 so I have it in
hand

Urgh.

Wish me luck tomorrow as I turn 52 and will spend it fishing for the
first
time in my later life.

You're spending it fishing, that's pretty good luck already. Many happy
wossnames.


Thank you kind sir. You will see the results of todays fishing in the other
post, not worth rushing though.(;-)
