Hi Ellie

Glad your business is up and running, may you get lots of patients coming to you, and may you have much success in getting them well! \:\)

When I returned to my country of origin this summer and spoke to some people, including a couple of doctors (casually, not in consultation) I was told that from the sound of it I probably caught chikungunya last year, and although my initial symptoms were not as severe as they could have been, that people manifest these things to varying degrees. A friend of mine says he got it too, earlier this year, and months later still has slight arthritic type pains in some of the joints in his extremities - his wrists and ankles. I also have some slight residue of these symptoms, nothing drastic, but it comes up as an issue at the most irritiating times, like when I tried to mount a horse after years and hardly had the strength in my ankles to pull myself up into the saddle. Being somewhat overweight also contributed to the problem, methinks! ;\)

Talking of which, how is that weight loss going? Hmmmm?

I arrived back from my trip at 78.1 kg and have managed to shave it down to 76.6 in a week. Got to keep on keeping on!

Bye for now,
