in Introduce Yourself
Hi, I am 51 years old female and needing to lose 75 to 85 pounds. This last year i was diagnose with rheumatoid arthritis i was on a cruise and could not move my arms. Dr. have put me on a cancer medication. Yesterday i just decided enough was enough i am going to lose weight, walk and become healthy. Most days i cannot get out of bed without pain every where. But i believe in my heart that with diet and exercise i can beat this. I would love friends that can inspire me along the way.

    That is a terrible story. How many different meds have you tried

    The dr. put me on methotrexate and folic acid, predisone on the days i can't handle it. I have had a dr. here in Portland and Yuma Az. Both have done the same thing. I believe it's all about stress and so i'm gonna fix it. Right? I feel better by just starting to eat right and exercise.

    I'm 52 and would be happy to have you as a friend. Sent me a request if you'd like to. Either way, have a great day!!

    I'll be 50 (or 49 extra large as I call it) in a couple of months. If you need more friends, feel free to add me! Good luck to you!

    Am I right in that this is often cyclical and will go away once you find the right balance. I hope that is soon for you
