  1. Ah, @marylander1940, okay … that was funny. The folks who never go to the Politics forum won't understand, but I laughed.

     

    And I'll take it as an opportunity to say this to @Avalon:

     

    You may not get this, so here's a heads-up:

     

    Plenty of us who hate your politics, or have expressed other issues with your posts, would still drive over, load you into the car if we had to carry you, and get you to a (good) doctor if we knew you were anywhere near us. I understand your preference to protect your privacy (even though, in this situation, it is unhelpful to you), but, please, don't abuse the concern of a community you have asked for attention, and implicitly asked to care about you, by ignoring advice you must know is offered in your best interest.

  2. But, @Avalon, it should not need to be said that healthy green vegetables are neither a cure for your arthritis, nor the only way you should be addressing it. While you may or may not be over-prescribed, it seems all but certain you are being under-treated. I may not have all the details, but you have posted a lot about your health challenges, and I am close to certain that your mobility (and quality of life) could be significantly improved.

     

    The fact that you choose to respond today to the fiber/green vegetables reference in this tread and say nothing about DOING ALL YOU CAN TO GET TO A DOCTOR is very disappointing.

  3. I've been urging and probing Avalon for sometime now to get help. He refuses to do so. Others [here] seem to think that somehow he will eventually come around.

    I don't know how many of us think that, but a lot of us certainly hope it. For his sake.

     

    Diabetes does not go away. Arthritis does not get better. But both can be managed. With the arthritis, in particular, there are many treatment options (injectables that create a fluid buffer in the knee joint, for example) that, as far as we know, have not (yet) been explored. So far, I have heard no reason why Avalon's mobility can't be improved. In his circumstance, I'd want nothing more than to improve mine. Especially knowing the risks of remaining sedentary.

    How does one deteriorate so much?

    Injury. Disease. Older age.

     

    Lack of proper healthcare.

     

    Not having family or friends on hand to help.
