Thanks for the responses. The doctor who told me to cut back on the cycling got dumped. I found a chiro who is working on the pinched nerve and I am now (after several bouts of bronchitis) taking my allergy meds. I hate taking drugs. I am concentrating on loosing weight. I'm about 30lbs overweight.

My blood pressure was at my last doctor visit 68/98, pretty good I think. I am going to get blood work as soon as this UTI clears up, but last time, everything was at good levels.

I am always the person who tells everyone to look at the glass as half full. You are the only group I've expressed this negative feeling to. When I read your posts I realize my glass is 1/2 full and I'm not going to stop being active for anything. Thanks again.

I love hearing about people's mom's being so active, that's the kind of mom I want to be.
