    Dear all,
    just a quick message to let you know that I spoke with Martha yesterday. Please be reassured that she does not have any dangerous health issues, although she won’t be able to travel and perform for a while due to a painful inflammation in her lower limbs. Nothing too worrying.

    All best,
    Gabriele Baldocci

    Any word on her concert in Ljubljana on 7/10?

  • David says:

    I was just wondering if our dear Martha may be suffering from Polymyalgia rheumatica, though to confirm this it would mean that she would have stiffness in her shoulder joints as well as in her hip area too. Just a thought as it is easily alleviated with prednisone, a corticosteroid drug. Either way; I do hope she is soon back to good health as such a rare human is much needed on our planet. Every good wish to you lovely lady.
