I have a bone condition called Avascular Necrosis. It was caused because I attempted suicide in 1983 and the pills aspirated into my lungs so they had to give me massive doses of steroids to save my life and get me breathing again. This caused the blood supply to not get to the joints, so I have had both ankles fused, both knees replaced and both shoulders replaced. So there is not much that I can do for exercise. But I really need to lose weight. I am eating fairly healthier right now, but sometimes I really binge on junk food. I get very anxious about this and I especially have anxiety about falling because I can't get myself up if I fall, and the fire department people have to be called in to help. It's very embarrassing. I fell last year and shattered my arm. I am scared of falling ausing great anxiety.

Thanks lot. I'm doing okay. I just could use some support besides my friends who live far away and don't understand the disease very well.
