My Complaints are a Coldness from
my Ancle up to the upper part of my thigh, &
sometimes my side seems affected, & am more
sensibly so in cold moist weather than in warm
and dry, it does not affect the inner part
of my Leg or Thigh, nor have I in general any
Complaint besides; my Appetite is generally
very good, & sleep well; no Pain or Giddiness
in my Head, & regular in Evacuations.
My first Complaint was in my Ancle, which
some would have to be gouty, it had indeed
all the appearance of it, but if it was so,
it came by a Sprain & tho' more than two
Years, yet have had not the least appearance
of it since, nor before that time.
