I've got fibro, too...and have opted to treat it with flexeril for the past few years instead of all the "designer drugs" they want us to try. I take it at night when I am really hurting to help me sleep and in the daytime when I hurt to the point of distraction. I don't have a problem functioning normally with it. Is that what you are taking?<BR/><BR/>My diet sounds like yours...carbs, carbs, and more carbs. That's tough...and I will be thinking of you and praying for you as you try to curb the carbs and drop some pounds. It would be great if you would pray for me, too. <BR/><BR/>I'm sure sorry to read we have this in common.

He said you can start by walking a few minutes in the morning and then again in the afternoon. I don't try diets anymore because once I lose and go off them, I gain again. What I've been trying to do is eat smaller portions and I don't deprive myself of any foods I like, just try to be sensible. I have one cup of real coffee in the mornings and try to drink more water during the day which is hard because I LOVE sweet tea! I try to just drink the tea at supper.<BR/>Keep up the good work and I hope the new meds will work for you!Sharonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04483264517830536055noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8040223448706025231.post-48480267003222431692009-03-04T06:07:00.000-08:002009-03-04T06:07:00.000-08:00You're going to give up COFFEE??

Say it isn't so.<BR/><BR/>Seriously, I do some gentle stretching and yoga exercises because of joint pain and old injuries. My RA doc wants me to get into a water walking class, and I'm going to see if my insurance will pay all or part of it.grammyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11441439411451262875noreply@blogger.com
