Power
They both were retired, they moved to a new place. She is in shock. There is another women. She thought he was happy. She has some kind of nauropathy that makes her house bound. I wonder if she can get help for that & actually be able to get out of the house. I wonder if she can get some kind of help. She has no family & knows no one in the new place she is living. What would you tell her to do or any insight you have she is so depressed & angry.
Answer
Many good answers.
I agree with Suzianne - she needs to see a lawyer immediately - if not sooner.
Maybe she has insurance - if not she need to contact the Adult and Aging Unit. It is generally housed in The State Human Services.
The Adult and Aging Unit has been gearing up and training for the services the Baby Boomers will be needing. They will know of all available resources for her. She is not alone in this - but she needs to reach out for the help that is out there for her. There is elderly housing available on a sliding income scale.
I have Peripheral Neuropathy and I have been home bound because of it for way over ten years. I'm not even sure anymore how long it has been.
Mine is a complication of diabetes. Mine has slowly gotten worse through out the years. It is all about learning to tolerate the pain and adjusting and adapting to the disease.
My dear husband has stuck with me and I know it has been hard for him. He had to take over for me. He did do cooking until he had a heart attack. He does the cleaning - the shopping - the washing etc. He is my caregiver. I thank God everyday that he has stuck it out - not wanting to be gone from home any longer than it takes to run errands.
If I didn't have him - I would have to go into a nursing home - maybe - just maybe an assisted living home. I will never get better. I will continue down hill. I have a good outlook about my life because I have my husband and a caring family.
I don't know what stage her Neuropathy is in. I can no longer walk on my own. I can walk - pushing a rolator from one room to another and cannot stand - but for a few seconds and no longer have my balance. I need the wheelchair to go to the doctor.
This is sounding very bad. It is not that bad - as long as I have help.
I like to live my days as normal as possible. I generally do not talk about my health. My family knows - to never ask me about my health. There is too much life left in me - to dwell on what ails me.
I feel a great deal of empathy for her situation. No one can know what Neuropathy is like unless they have walked in the persons shoes.
I'm not here to voice my complaints - Just wanting you - her friend - to know what you will be looking at and how you can help her.
Email if you need to know more.
DeeJay - wants to help. 75 and holding.

What are some ways to make my knee not hurt while running?
Anna
I don't know what's wrong with it, it's been sort of an on and off thing for like 2 years. I know it comes back when I do too much after a break from running. But it has been really hurting me when I run. Sometimes it will just I guess go numb after a mile and then right when I stop running it hurts really bad. So I know I shouldn't be running at all, but I need to. So what are some things I can do to make it not hurt when I run? Is there any stretches or warm up or exercises I should be doing? I'm 21 and a female if that matters.
I don't think it's runners knee, it doesn't hurt when I squat. I guess it does hurt when I go uphill, but not a great deal more than running on a level surface.
Answer
As women, we have to deal with the way our bodies are built; wider hips means that many times the angle from the hips down to the knee is more than those of guys.
That being said, there are several options/reasons for knee pain:
1. the right/wrong shoe. If you have feet that overpronate, for example (feet flop inward when you land) yet your shoes are neutral or made for underpronators (land on the outside of the foot), your shoes could be altering your gait in a bad way and that can affect the rest of your legs.
2. you could be overdoing your runs. If you don't run much or don't have a schedule of running (like 3 times a week at a certain mileage) and then head out and try to do a 9 miler, you can simply be overstressing your entire body, not just your knees. Overtraining or stressing your thigh muscles, putting too many miles too quickly can strain your calves, and both sets of muscles are anchored at the knees.
3. you have weak muscles around the knees. You can do a search for running sites, a decent one is runnersworld, that will show you exercises you can do to both strengthen and stretch your legs. Simple weight training is also a good idea to strengthen your leg muscles.
4. Why do you NEED to run? If it's for weight loss (this was my reason to start, too), it's really not going to help much other than working out your muscles. ON AVERAGE (caps for emphasis), a mile of running/jogging only burns about 100+/- calories. If you are trying to lose weight and right now are heavy (note: I'm 5'3 and 160 so I'm no featherweight), perhaps you can simply slow your pace a bit. When I first starting running (okay, jogging), I overdid it; ran too fast, in the wrong shoes and I was in full-body pain for a while.
lastly, if you get your gait analyzed (most running specialty shops will do it for you for a small fee or free, don't go to the big box stores like Sports Authority or Academy; people there are nice, but I have yet to find anyone there that actually runs), slowly as in don't just do one long run a week, increase your mileage, and do simple warm-ups (these should not be extreme, only really stretch after a run), and you still have pain, perhaps you should visit a sports physical therapist to see if they can help you.
And for those that will go on and on how running will destroy your knees, any kind of stress can seriously hurt your joints, but read this:
