I keep wondering if it is all a flash in the pan - this feeling and looking 20 years younger, but it doesnt seem to be. my husband and I have just been away for a few days, taking our daughter off to Uni to start her Vet Med course in Nottingham and then visiting my dad. we went to the Lake district and did a little hill walking. I took some poles, the walking stick kind, to help with the downhills. I get a few odd looks from the staff in the hotels and cafes when I order food - but it is worth it. its like being a celiac- but i believe no grain at all to be key, and so whilst i have had full english breakfasts, but no toast or baked spuds, and lots of healthy meals- greens, salads and fish and meat - i have had no processed food or starchy veg. i have had plenty of red wine and brandy though! still absolutely no inflammation or stiffness, despite a heavy cold. My dad is amazed. he hasnt seen this person for a long time. Like 20 years xxx
