    For me nothing works. Now i can be standing up and all at once my body's nervesdo something and i fall and cannot get up. I most of the time have to have someone help me up.Sometimes i cannot raise my arms or pick my feet up.I go next week for a MRI,maybe i'll get some help then.To tell you how bad it is,i fell in bathroom last night and the only way i could get back to bed was to slide on my back down the hall to my bedroom and was finally able to get in bed.But i'm 80 yrs old and have done what ive i wanted and had a real good time in this life. The only thing i wanted to but didn't was to make a long trip to Alaska.I just wish everyone could have as much fun as i have had.

    Is that the kind of therapy where you sit on your couch in the basement all day watching reruns of every show you liked from the ‘60s and ‘70s and just let the Radon Gas soak in?

    Need way more than a typical basement radon. Typical basement radon is is like 2 to 5 times back round radiation. The one in Montana gives you 10 to 100 times normal background radiation depending on how deep in the cave you are, almost all radiation from radon.
    In the US there are old Indian stories about going into certain caves and it provided pain relief. No one could figure out why till the nuclear age and the only thing all these identified caves had in common is they were giving off elevated levels of radon.

    I am sorry to hear that your health has declined to the point that you require residential care. I hope that you are are being well looked after there.

    MY FEET HURT! I stand and walk on concrete floors at work and have done so for the past 40 years and will do so until I retire...in 10 or 12 years! My feet burn, tingle, are sometimes numb, and are cold at the moment! I go through a couple of pairs of shoes a year and replace my inserts every 2-3 months After work I usually soak my feet in a hot bath of Epson Salts or apple cider vinegar. I'm not alone, most people at work complain about foot-pain, unless they have another complaint to add to it. It also didn't help that I ran for about 20 years, but I loved every step of about 7000-8000 miles!
