What a vlog Lynn. I worked in the NHS for 32 years and the best advice is from patients who have experienced these health problems. They know what it feels like to live with these issues and how it effects their physical and mental health. You may not realise it but through the way that you have presented this vlog, there are people who are suffering the symptoms you had and are now thinking about seeking help. You explained the treatment in such a way that it took the fear of the unknown out of equation. Well done and so many thanks for sharing xx

Aw thank you so much for saying that, I hope I did because the fear is the worst thing, it stops people going to the GP, so if my vlog has encouraged 1 person to seek help, job done, us ladies should all be helping each other, and hopefully have a laugh along the way 😂❤️❤️❤️

Your health issues saddened me Lynne, as I wasn't aware that your condition was so bad... you've really been up against it, haven't you? But you're still smiling and having a laugh. You will come out the other side, and you will go dancing again, I have no doubt. You brought a tear to my eye when you were talking about your mum, my mother had dementia also, and I miss her everyday... I think all of us whose mothers' have died miss them. Anyway, well done for giving up the weed... 43 years for me, and I never think about it now... it's like another person and not me! Thanks for sharing, I'm sure you will have helped others with the same symptoms ❤❤❤❤❤

Oh Lynn, I feel awful as I mentioned recently mid August 2024 about you showing your legs more as they looked great, and I have only just watched this vlog to hear about your health problems some months ago. I will look at the follow up to see how you got on with the treatment and the treadmill, and also the garage declutter! You mentioned your mother having dementia but still remembering the tapping of the dance beat. Sad but bringing a smile. I remember my mother was the same, and before she lost recognition of me and my daughter and was bedridden, whenever my daughter visited her from university, she would reach for her handbag (not there) to give her some money. She had always done that when she saw her as a child and teenager. We both have smiled at that memory, not sad but somewhat amusing as you remember your memory. Continue to make us smile as you do it so well.

Oh Hazel, please don’t feel awful, I didn’t think twice about it, I realise that people don’t know things about me so don’t ever worry. I had a stent fitted in my groin, and my left leg is absolutely fine now, but my right leg is terrible, but they say it’s not the same problem, so I’m awaiting the results of an MRI, but I’m still trying to use the treadmill when I can. You will know exactly what I’m talking about then with our mums, it’s the cruelest condition ever, it steals your mum piece by piece, and when Covid hit, I never got to see her for 2 years, by which time a lot of the recognition had gone. But I swear she knew me just before she passed. I do hope they find some kind of treatment for it soon, I wouldn’t wish it on anyone. But yes we have lots of happy memories to look back on don’t we. Have a lovely week, and take care lovely lady ❤️🌹❤️

Oh my goodness Lynn, what a time you’ve had of it! I’m slowly catching up with all your video’s, I was in the US for eight months, so never seen a lot of them. You are so very lucky that you were able to get all this sorted out! You’ve done really well on your weight loss/health plan. I used to go walking up the hills where I stay, I also hiked up Ben Nevis with my sister for charity. It’s great! It makes you feel alive and healthy, not only in the body but in the mind as well. Keep doing what you’re doing, you’re doing marvellously well. Dementia is a terrible disease, both my aunts had it before they died, it’s very sad seeing them with this, when you think what they were like before the dementia, so sad 😢 You must’ve been heartbroken seeing your mum with this, even although she was 92, it’s still your mum and nobody should have to go through that. I also used to smoke and gave up, the best thing I ever did. Not only for my health but for my bank balance too! 😂 Anyway Lynn, well done again, I wish you a very long and happy life. ❤

Aw thank you Diane. It’s been a difficult few years to be sure, and still ongoing, but at least I’m having investigations, some people aren’t that lucky. I’ve recently fell off the band wagon, but I’m back on it now, I put some weight back on, but I’ll get rid of it soon. My daughter does a lot of hill and mountain walking, she loves it. Oh dementia, and Alzheimer’s is the cruellest disease I know, absolutely heartbreaking to watch it take your loved one piece by piece till there’s nothing left. Well done on the giving up smoking, it’s one of the best things I’ve ever done as well. I thoroughly enjoyed smoking if I’m honest, but my health was the reason I gave up, and I’ve never looked back. I saved the money in a jar, and treat myself to a holiday, as a kind of incentive. Thank you so much for this lovely message Diane, and I wish you the same lovely lady, so take care and enjoy every moment that you can….. 🌹❤️🌹❤️🌹❤️

Oh Lynn I know how you feel. This March just gone I had a heart attack I am same age as you but i was fit, I ran three days a week and did strength training twice a week. (I have my own gym in the garden) It came as a shock to everyone who knows me. Hence the bruising with the meds. I was studying to be a personal trainer too but have put that on hold. I walk now briskly two miles every day with view to return to running as soon as i am able. I have a treadmill and i use it when it is raining outside. I reckon you will lose some weight and the changes you are making to your diet will help a lot ,diets are fad things, it is changing just one or two things when you feel you can that makes it a lifestyle change and you will stick to it more easily. Good luck and if you need any advice i am here x I know you said you hate gyms and i am the same but strength training is using little weights to help challenge your muscles and turn the fat into muscle, you can use them on the treadmill as you walk. I bet you feel marvellous in no time and it was that feeling that was and still is my motivation.

Hi Julie, your story is so very sad, all that fitness and then you suffer a heart attack, it’s just not fair is it. You sound like such a positive person, and very determined to get back to good health. It sounds like you’re well on your way too. I will take your advice and try and do some strength training whilst I’m on the treadmill, my balance isn’t good so I’ll have to do one side at a time, so that I can hold on with one hand. I have one or two other health things going on, but I will definitely try and up my game. Thank you for telling me about yourself Julie… take care and keep in touch with me please 🥰🥰🥰

My ex-husband had intermittent claudication which meant he could only walk so far an he would have to stop, then he could walk again for a bit an then would have to stop. He went in for an operation to but stents in his legs but on opening him up they found his aorta was completely blocked an was crumbling as they touched it, they had to replace the aorta with what looks like an old fashioned telephone wire they had to run it down his left side. He was marvellous after the operation could return to work. So glad every is good with you now love your vlogs x

Oh Denise, I feel his pain, my leg was shocking before I had the stent put in, and I put up with it because the drs didn’t seem to be taking me serious, it was only after I had a mini stroke the they started to listen, the artery to my leg was nearly completely blocked when they put the stent in, it’s ridiculous really. I’m so glad they sorted it out for him, it’s just a shame that we have to suffer for so long before anything is done. Anyway, I can’t run a marathon, but I can certainly walk for quite a way before it hurts so all is good. Thank you so much ❤️❤️❤️

Thank you Lynn for being so open and honest. Didn’t know arteries in all parts of the body could become blocked, thought it was just ones around the heart. I start off thinking of walking every day but the weather and laziness gets in the way. My husband got rid of the treadmill for a static exercise bike, which I find uncomfortable. Im liable to fall over these days, my balance is not good, puts me off walking around where i live as the pavement is uneven. Years ago i used to leave early for work, stopping off at the shopping mall. It’s was great, smooth surface and no worries if it was cold or wet.
@Nanna-M9 ай бұрын
I know, it’s surprising, and drs tend not to think of a blocked artery when you complain of achy legs, they always assume it’s coming from your back, i knew it was blocked arteries, but how can you tell your dr he’s wrong. Walking is the best thing I can do for my legs, hence the treadmill, I would never think to go for a walk by myself, it just wouldn’t happen, so the treadmill in the garage works for me. I hope you find a way that suits you Chrissie, our health is so important ❤️

Hiya Cher, thank you so much. Oh it takes over your life doesn’t it, caring for your parents, I had the same with my mum, she never lived with me, but I went to her house every day from about 8am till early evening, she had Alzheimer’s, set fire to her house and all sorts. I know how hard it is….I was the same as you, only going out for shopping after the pandemic, I actually like lockdown, it gave me permission in a way, to stay home. I love my home, and it’s my favourite place to be still. So the treadmill is my way of exercising without the stress of going out. But that’s more difficult for you under the circumstances. You are an angel for looking after your dad, when I had to eventually take mum to a care home, for her own safety, and my sanity, I got a job there to make sure she was looked after properly, and I walked miles, every shift I did. Kept me fit, but my legs hurt so much I had to stop after 5 yrs. so anyway I’m rambling now, look after yourself, because you matter too ❤️❤️❤️

I do walk outdoors but mostly I walk around my house. Up and down the stairs, Through the lounge around the kitchen and I walk a minimum of 10,000 steps every day. That’s about 90 minutes every day, In chunks of a few thousand steps starting when I get up in a morning. I just want to tell folks that You do not need a treadmill. Good luck with the vascular issues, lots of people struggle to understand why they need to do something that is so painful. The benefits of walking through the pain barrier are worth it.

Baking, sharing what you bake and making healthy diet choices can go together: I've achieved results (10 kgs dropped slowly) with a "little-by-little, bit-by-bit" approach and that's what makes a good habit stick.

Of course I am so very sorry to hear what has been going on for you but so very pleased that you have been listened to and that you have/are receiving the treatment that you need. I also don't like gyms, but each to their own. I live in a village in the south of England but have to say I haven't had to think about my safety so do walking on a daily basis. We have our bikes in Suffolk so do at least three reasonably long bike rides a week, stopping at a pub of course for lunch, it would be rude not to 😂. I have cut out the snacking, I think I started again because of having the grandkids. Anyway all is going in the right direction. I use light weights for side and front arm lights plus for sit ups. I do stretching which is advised and do aerobics with a dvd when I feel like it. Health is the number one thing for me so I just do what I can when I can and don't beat myself up about it, life's too short. Good luck with everything 👍, know you've got this.

So lovely of you to share some of your health issues and explain how you are trying to resolve them and help yourself. You are really interesting and motivating others. I suffer with many health issues myself and it’s hard to motivate ourselves and keep moving but I try daily to keep busy, keep up with my interests and travel a lot. There are many free yoga classes on KZfaq. I follow an excellent one. Yoga does make a difference and I try to practise it regularly when my health doesn’t prevent me. See you soon. xx 😀

Lynn, I could listen to you all night and your facial expressions make me smile. Like a few comments you have a lovely calming voice. Interesting about you legs, I have the same problem but never been checked for blocked arteries but them maybe I haven’t explained how bad I am to the doctor, be worth letting him/her know if I need to go for something else, or I might just make an appointment to see what they say. I have osteoarthritis and currently trying to lose weight to get to the correct BMI that my surgeon will accept to be put on the waiting list.I will be 72 on 10 September and I never retired until 4 years ago from NHS where I could clock up 12000 steps no problem in work. You have just given me the push I need to get off my bum and do something about it. You look much much younger than your age, congrats on reaching over 2000 ❤ Lynn, I got an appointment with doc today, 29th Aug. Got bloods taken and she has requested an appointment for an ECG, I will let you know how I get on xxx

Hi Eileen, it certainly is, and it’s much easier to gain weight than to lose it for sure. It’s a good exercise, my consultant recommended me to do it. I chose the treadmill because it’s perfectly flat, I can use it all weathers, and I can watch a KZfaq video while I’m on there. Win win. Oh no, you can do without medication if it’s at all possible. Take care, sending much love ❤️🥰❤️

As they say " use it or lose it " and that I think is very true as I watch other friends slow up with mobility issues as they get older and they were always fitted than me😏 I too hate diets but love the cake😂was however glad of the few extra pounds I was carrying at the time of the fall as I lost 16 pounds after 3 weeks stay in hospital.

I borrowed my brothers treadmill but it was too monotonous for me lol as I prefer outdoors so in Jan I got myself a fitbit and started walking for 30 min a day and so far I've managed to lose just over a stone but it's more the inches that I've lost and my shape is more defined now. I can't believe how much its helped with my stamina and overall health. I wish you well on your journey and look forward to seeing your future vlogs...onwards and upwards ❤

I wish I had a treadmill as I don’t like walking in the rain and that’s hard living in Scotland as it rains a lot 😂. You’re a joy to listen to whatever the subject and you’ve done so well with your walking. I love to bake too but then I eat it. I’m lucky I’m not overweight but I try and stick to eating healthy 80% of the time and 20% of the time I eat cake 😂. I hate diets and think as long as you’re sensible you’re fine.

In my area we have 'Move it or Lose it' exercise classes for over 60s. They're a combo of some seated and some standing routines. Great fun. I'd say we are mostly late 60s to early 80s with a variety of age related health issues! My ma in law had intermittent claudication back in the day. Unfortunately she passed away from cancer (unrelated) before she was able to have the procedure she needed. It did indeed restrict her life and she was VERY resistant to using a wheelchair!

Just saw this late in the day and found it really interesting So glad you got to the bottom of that and also that there was something that could fix it - despite covid being in the way. Would love to have space for a treadmill, again like yourself not because I would like it 😮 but because I need to get a bit fitter - without going to the dreaded gym and not having to go out in all weathers. Had a treadmill in my garage several years ago and it was great - easy to get a routine. Someone said to me recently that it didn’t matter if you did 2 x half time workouts - it was just the same as the full one. Not too sure about it but once I get some motivation 🤗🙏 then I might put it to the test. I no longer have a treadmill but have followed some of the keep fit routines on KZfaq for 1/2 hour spells but I feel the treadmill was better - especially for the legs Really love your vlogs 😊

Hi Veronica, the pain was in both legs, they put a stent in my groin, and it helped lots with the left leg, but made no difference to the right. I’ve had further tests, and they think the pain is coming from my spine, so I have an MRI scan on the 14th May, so hopefully we will get to the bottom of it then. But meanwhile the treadmill is fabulous exercise for my legs, and the treadmill fits my lifestyle best. I hope you get to where you want to be with your exercise routine, and I really appreciate you watching my videos ❤️❤️❤️

Hi Lynn, Im 66 and walk every day , just for 45mins round aboub. I have a wee dog so that gets me ot. Iget sore heavy legs at times, especially climbing stairs but do have bad hips and back. I have partner to walk with as we are both retired but like you I dont like walking in places on my own. I have done it but it gives me anxiety !! Keep thinking theres someone behind me ha ha . I love baking and have put on a bit of weight as I taste it too. You have to dont you. . Its hard to give up the good stuff but the problem is my clothes start to get tight . Anyway, your doing great . Well done on your walking. Im not sure the walking alone makes me loose weight but think it helps with my joints. Cutting down and no sugar makes me loose a bit and keeping moving.

Wow 45 mins every day is good, I’m sorry you have several health issues, I can tell my hips are deteriorating, but I suppose they’re worn out….it’s nice that you have someone to walk with, I need to be walking on the flat, that’s why I opted for the treadmill, along with the anxiety of walking out alone. Yes cake and 🍪 are my weakness too. Thank you for commenting, take care 🥰🥰🥰

Hi Lynn, thanks for revealing your health issues, you have been through it. My husband had a aneurysm in his abdomen which they monitored for 10 years, till it became large so two years ago he had keyhole surgery and had a graft put in the aorta, the graft has got a very tiny leak but they monitor it annually, so fingers crossed that the leak doesnt worsen. You remind me of myself, dont like diets cos when i am on a diet i am hungry all the time, dont like the gym either, but could you put tge link on to the yoga you are doing please. Xx❤️❤️❤️

Hi June, your poor hubby, I’m not doing the yoga June, because they wanted to take about 30 something pound subscription, so I thought not on your Nellie. So I’m just doing the treadmill for now, trying to cut down on sweet things, and move around more day to day. There might be free yoga workouts on KZfaq, you could have a look on there ❤️❤️❤️

@@Nanna-M yes I did. this was 23 years ago, I saw GP on return from Tenerife , he asked if I had been reading a medical dictionary as I was describing text book PVD, I was prescribed Ramipril ,asprin and a statin, I asked how long would I need to take the meds and was told until there was something better , I understand there now is ,I am still on original meds . I had ultrasound check on my neck and thankfully that was clear my problem was from my calf through to my ankle , I have always walked a lot so was relieved when my symptoms improved and walking became a pleasure again, However I dont walk much now as I am very unsteady on my feet and an scared of falling and I do feel an odd twinge in my calf but as I am now 81 I suppose it is to be expected , good luck with your treatment, hope you can get by without further surgery x

Hi Lynn. I am the same age as you and I enjoy your channel very much. I think you did the right thing in getting a treadmill for exercise. I have had one for years. I didn't use it for many years until COVID and I started using it six days a week for 30 minutes. I don't diet either like you but feel healthy for my age. I have Stills Disease a rare rheumatology problem well controlled with medication. I would encourage you to use the treadmill regularly and you will feel much healthier. I always have a u tube video to watch while I'm walking on the treadmill and the time flies. Keep up the good work!

Oh yes, I too watch KZfaq, and the time passes a lot quicker. I’m thinking of going up to 30 minutes now, I’m on my 10th day so a 3rd of the way through. Thank you for the motivation, it’s nice that we can all help each other 🥰🥰🥰

Hiya Lynn, after subscribing yesterday I've watched a couple more videos. This was really informative. I'm a big walker and try to move around as much as possible, even when I'm at home. I'm 69 and had open heart surgery 3 years ago for a valve replacement due to a congenital issue. I lost a lot of weight very quickly as I was in hospital a month and could hardly eat anything. It took me more than a year of hard work to get my health and strength back. I now eat a healthy diet, walk loads and my weight's been stable for the last 2 years. Can you give us an update on your journey please? Christine

Hello Christine, wow you have been through the mill haven’t you. Healthy eating and exercise is the very best thing you can do, I’m trying to eat as healthy as possible but I do slip sometimes, I don’t beat myself up about it, I just get back on to it the day after. I will do a health update very soon, it won’t be a dedicated video, I’ll add it to another, possibly a Q&A I have coming up. Reading your story tells me that you’ve had it worse than me, my investigations are still ongoing, you know how bad our NHS is at the moment, so busy it’s unreal. Thank you for being interested Christine, it’s very much appreciated, and I do hope you enjoy my channel ❤️

Unfortunately it's not the only health issue I've had (a non-Hodgkin's lymphoma back in the early '90s, successfully treated). These things make you stronger and more resilient. This helped me to assist my daughter aftershe suffered a brain haemorrhage three years ago. We're both absolutely fine now and and although she's been left with a mental disability she too walks miles every single day. ❤
