You're right about friends, I've had tremendous support from some in particular and yes, agree it sorts out the real ones. My main fear was starting a new job on 6 January where new colleagues might think it's contagious - I cover up my entire body, but it's all over my hands and I can't really wear gloves in the office! - only one colleague has asked about it (people are generally too polite to ask, I think), but I explained what it was while trying to cover my hands, and she put her hand on my arm to stop me. So a surprisingly sympathetic response.
I've started incorporating more fruit and vegetables into my diet, but the thought of doing anything active is difficult: when I arrive at work, get home from work, get back from going shopping etc, the backs of my thighs are torture - today it took me half an hour to sit down when I got back from the shops. I literally stood in the living room until the pain died down as I couldn't face sitting. I need to learn how to sit on my head
Very sensible advice re the diet, I hardly ever eat anything processed anyway but did need more fruit and have enjoyed that. You clearly are very sensible x
