January/February 2007 was pretty much the nadir of all of this - scarcely able to get out of a chair or work more than 2-3 hours per week. This article is a story of hope - how things have improved since then and what I have done to aid those improvements. A good doctor, weight training and life management have been three of the key factors in getting where I am today.
