Hello!

I'm very supportive and am looking for mutually supportive friends of any age or sex who are trying to lose weight and/or keep healthy while coping with chronic pain / Illness.

Some days/weeks I am unable to do any exercise (or even basic tasks), but when I am I do low impact exercise.

I have joined some great groups on here as well. :smile:

    I understand I have Sciatica, which is when the main nerve in my spine is pinched and causes immobile pain at times. Although is getting better since i've been working out for like 21/2 months. Welcome.

    I have Lyme Disease so I'm quite familiar with working through chronic pain and illness. Feel free to add me if you'd like. And good luck! Just because we're a little down, doesn't mean we can't do this!!! :-D

    Just wondering if you heard of this supplement. It is getting excellent user comments on amazon and I looked for it as a subject on mfp to inquire if anyone has had any good results with it. There is nothing on mfp. Going through the comments from users on the above site and amazon I have been flip flopping as to whether or not I want to try it.

    I have a chronic illness called POTS- Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome. If you want to learn more here is a basic info: http://www.dinet.org/pots_an_overview.htm.

    I know that losing weight will not take away my symptoms but it will make them more manageable. Because of my condition I suffer from high heart rate when standing, passing out, light headed, brain fog, forgetfulness, severe head aches, chest pain, and many others.
    I would love to make some friends that know the challenge of living with a chronic condition!
