Loving my new writing and sketching studio space.
My husband Reg is becoming a lot fitter; having fully recovered from the Whooping cough and the complications and set back it caused himJ. He recently passed a series of medical checkups with flying colours and was fit enough to put together a set of six assemble yourself furniture. The assembly required hours of bending and stretching, down on the floor and up again work, something he would not have been able to do a few weeks ago.

Reg had been on anti inflammatory for the severe rheumatic condition and arthritis flair up that followed the whooping cough set back and he had to go off these due to side effects and he changed over to aspirin in the mornings to get some relief and get moving for the day.  Then when he had to have an aesthetic for these tests, he had to go off the aspirin a week before the procedure so I suggested he get back on to the diet supplements  of glucosamine  and anti inflammatory fish oil capsules and he has been making a huge effort and moving a little more every day.

It is so easy to come to a stop moving, when it hurts to move, ( I have been there myself), but that just compounds the problem, ‘if you don’t use it you lose it’, is what Arthritis Australia, advises and both Reg and I do our best to keep mobile even when we have arthritis flair ups. 

I am amazed at how well Reg has .recovered, he has not needed to go back on to the anti-inflammatory or aspirin and just takes his natural therapies, I mentioned above, as they do seem to help, (helps both of us) and they are safe to use, long term.

J, I am VERY HAPPY this morning, so very happy my man has recovered so well and DELIGHTED with my new look lounge room and ‘clean (writing and drawing, mediums’ creative studioJ.
