    Hi Debs
    Poor you! :(
    You sound well rough.
    Mean old physio - I'm sure she's right, but :?:
    I don't know what to suggest because I guess you are doing everything you can already, but you can have some of my heartfelt sympathy and cyber-support too.
    If I was you I would hold my partner's arm sometimes anyway because it's a lovely thing to do :)
    Take care

    Hi, yes you do sound poorly, I agree with all the above. It must be horrid to be so sick as well. Holding a Partners arm is great sometimes and I would still do that at times also, if you have a lot of shopping to do, use a trolley as its the only practical way to carry stuff. Hope you feel more positive soon. Love Sue

    Sending my sympathy and huggs to you. I also have been told not to use walking aids for the same reason...weird how something so comforting is banned.

    Hope all your infections clear up.

    Hi Deb
    At least you sound as though you're not letting it get you down! :wink:
    Sure the sinuses will feel better soon - that is a bad infection - only had it once so far, but by the 'eck were it bad!!!
    Good idea to make some sort of drug sheet I reckon or you could loose track and miss something or worse still - overdose :shock: !
    Take care
