I know I need to exercise but I can’t go out by myself. There’s always the potential to pass out. What exercises can you do by yourself at home? It’s very frustrating. I feel so much better when I’m out and moving around. There’s only so many times you can clean your house! 🙄

Blood in urine? urge incontinence? slow flow? Have drs related it to ATTR, neuro involvement or just the aging process? What has been the treatment and does it resolve?
I still have to deal with it.
