  • HI Sarah

    I too have Fibro, and have had for last 14 years or so. Always struggled with my weight, but determined to do something about it... I have actually found that healthy eating and exercise has improved my symptoms, and happy for you to add me as a friend also :)

    Good luck with your journey :)

    Hi Sarah...I know what you mean about the fibromyalgia thing...as i have it too along with inflammatory spondylitis. Not fun. Exercise is so crucial but do not overdo as tht may trigger a flare up. Topamax is a drug similar to Lyrica and it helps on lose weight. Maybe you could ask your doctor about this? keep plugging along. I am also a newbie and am thinking about joining a local topps group. basically that would help me with weighting in every week, and the support is great there too. Good luck.
