NEW to this all .. was told i have fibro in Jan. of this year. Ive been on a rough rd and now starting to feel like me again. Im on lyrica and it does help with the pain for me. I m wanting to know if any one else is taking it and if your are able to drop the pounds. Im down because i know you gain weight with it . I dont want to give it though cause it does help with the pain
any advise would be helpful .

Hey, everyone. I'm Alex, 29, diagnosed with ME/CFS about 15 years ago. One of the things I find most frustrating is knowing my limits and not going over them. It's very easy to push too hard and make myself ill for a few weeks, especially when people around me are encouraging me to do more. I've just gotten over a three month bad patch and noticed my weight is creeping up quite a lot. I want to do something about that, so here I am. Hoping for plenty of support and lots of new friends.0

Hi everyone!
I haven't signed in for ages so feel like I'm 'new' again! For those who don't know/remember me, I was diagnosed with CFS in 2010 after my health gradually deteriorated then crashed, and since then I've been working on building myself back up to recovery.
Iron_Pheonix, I think that I agree with just about everything you said in your post!
I've not actually been doing calorie counting (hence why I've not been signing into MFP so much) as I found it wasn't the way for me: it was flaring my OCD up! (Really.) Anyway, I have been watching what I eat still and am steadily losing weight. I've still got a way to go before I'm back to the shape I was before I got ill, but onwards I go... The reason I've come back to MFP is because I want to keep track of my exercise more and get more involed in the community.0 -
Hello. I am somewhat new to the MFP community. I have been diagnosed with Fibro for about 3 years now. I have lots of other medical problems as well. I'm really glad to have found this group!0

Hello, I have just joined this group, I am diabetic, osteoarthritis in knee, back, shoulders etc, fibromyalgia and sciatica which is giving me hell at the moment and painkillers don't seem to help that much. I used to weigh 350 lb (25 stone) but lost 9 stone, then gained 4.5 but have got 2 stone off again so now i'm 18 stone 6 lb, I find it a struggle to keep to a diet every day with being a compulsive over eater by nature and sugar addict. I try to go swimming at least 3 times a week and go for a walk a couple of times a week, but have to push myself, it would be so easy to just sit around all day feeling depressed about my situation which has all been self inflicted with my weight probably, but I do think stress plays a big part which I live with on a daily basis, always been a worrier as well. I don't want to moan and really just want to keep motivated to lose more weight with the hope I will start to feel better in my health. Thanks Sue0
