A slow loss of excess weight from nearly 16 stone to 14 stone (2 more to go) has made me feel much better, I can now walk properly for 1/2 mile which I havn't done for over 15 years!
I will be 70 in February.

Hi Peter,
Hope you are keeping warm and getting better.
Thanks Tony, the medication makes a remarkable difference; I'd got to the stage where I couldn't get more than a few yards without having to stop for a minute or two, but I can now get about (carefully) a lot easier than before. All I need now is for it to warm up a bit!
