The bio part is the best. I was empathizing with the arthritis (can't remember if you put your age - so you probably didn't), but I'm 53 and started with the arthritic twinges about 4 years ago (way tooo young!). Originally they told me it was rheumatoid and I had visions of me being a cripple. Once I had a blood test and it was confirmed as osteoarthritis my stress level went down a bit. When I went on an exercise binge a couple of months ago it was amazing how good and pain/ache free I felt. A mere 5 lb weight loss after TWO months ticked me off (and Yoga teachers left etc) so I sort of got away - and am back to the aches and pains. Another thing: an intro to massage giving on the cruise was an eye opener. After using an essential herbal oil (lavender) while giving a massage MY HANDS FELT GREAT. Am now checking into this.
