[QUOTE="DianaMC, post: 1865629, member: 488381"] Thank you, Contralto! I've been checked for thyroid issues for quite some years - partly to do with a pituitary gland issue. But it always comes back as normal. I'm a tiny bit nervous about NHS approaches to treating thyroid hyper/hypo too, tbh as I know someone who was given that radioactive pill. It didn't solve the problem, just sent them in the other direction. Within a few years they suddenly died from a brain tumour. Maybe I'm joining too many dots there, but it made me feel a bit wary. They seemed perfectly fine, health wise, prior to that, apart from a burning sensation in the legs and weight gain to do with the thyroid problem. Esmonde Technique sounds really good. Haven't come across that before. I looked on Amazon and Ebay for DVDs/blueray and they seem to range from 50-170 quid a go. Is it just me, or is that a bit steep for an exercise video? I bought one of those Vibrapower plate things when I was out of action with the injured shoulder, but never quite got around to using it - it's quite heavy and really needs to be near the TV, so I can use the DVDs I bought with it (which were a lot less squids a go!) Sort of messes up the lounge ambience... But maybe I need to be more focussed on getting that set up, too. So far, what I thought was a gentle style of yoga has ended up with back pain and another shoulder going wrong. So I'm definitely thinking about options. Difficult to get myself to a swimming pool, though, as can't drive at the moment due to cataract issue. Waiting for more tests - hopefully it can be operated on after Xmas (when I'll have had the second round of tests and follow up appointment). Many thanks for your help! Diana [/QUOTE]
