Hello Ivy, Welcome to the site, I am next door in Somerset. As everyone says you will find a lot of useful advice on here with regard to coping with the problem, we all learn something new every day.

Yes we do slow down in our movements but only because we have to, to cope is the key. I hope you benefit from all the people on here with similar problems, I know I have. Arn x
