Chronically ill friends?

Hello all,

I've posted before, but this time I'm looking for fellow chronically ill people trying to get healthy who are willing to chat outside of MFP via Kik or Viber.

I have a nice list of ailments, many that are getting worse (boo!!), but those that effect me most are:
- Critically low B12 (which sounds so benign right? Yeah I thought so too, but it's the reason for about 15+ of my crazy symptoms!!)
- Critically low D3
- Migraines
- PCOS, which caused an issue with insulin as well as cause very quick weight gain, and increased my A1c incredibly quickly, teetering on diabetes.
- Panic disorder
- Maybe fibromyalgia (trying to get a sure diagnosis )

Haha, I am all kinds of messed up!
So I'm seeking other chronically ill folks (preferably 18-35, but not set in stone) who are trying to lose weight. I'm trying to lose a lot, but you don't have to be!

I really could use the motivation from someone who understands how hard it is (as well as giving out motivation to you! I am in your position! I know how it feels to do nothing but sit around and feel exhausted!)

You can message me here, or go ahead and message my Kik - " iShelby_xD "
