I have started taking Glucosamine to see if that will fix the problem, and for the interim my daughter is doing my early morning walks with the dog. It got so bad over the course of the last 3 weeks that I was afraid I was going to break a hip and fall, or fall and break a hip. Either way, not a lot of fun!

If the Glucosamine does not help then I will be off to the doctor to see if I have developed some other problem. Walking is imporatnt to me (duh?), and at 50 I'm not ready to be a couch potato because I am afraid to fall!

Too bad there has not been more activity here, I was looking forward to this thread!

As said posted above, try this thread: http://www.butchfemmeplanet.com/foru...read.php?t=121 It's very active.

And how "oil free" is your diet? Oils aren't inherently bad but the quantity we sometimes take in can be. Extra Virgin Olive Oil (cold press) can be a good thing to add into a diet in reasonable quantities.
