Where I stand right now with my physical fitness is sort of an impasse; my asthma improves when I exercise, but I get these crippling muscle spasms in the outside line of my ankle and in my calves any time I try to do any form of activity.  My father has the same problem, and he's never found a solution.  How am I supposed to go forward with ( Read more... )
