Question
my legs ache-primarily in the thighs when I go to bed and upon waking.  I thought it was caused by exercise, but not having done any for the last 3 weeks, I find that the pain is still ther - any suggestions as to possible cause

Answer
The disturbance in the geo rhythm might have  caused you this problem. just smear Indian ayurvedic oil "PINDA THAILA"  to the affected area in the night and do 3doem meditation for 5 minutes twice a a day using 3d oem chart. you can find the 3d oem chart in your local book store. more about 3d oem you can find at http://www.3doem.com
