new to group

[Guest guest]

Hi - I'm new to the group and have been reading some of the postings

and find that one of the over-riding themes is non-acceptance by

others. I find this too, and feel embarrassed when I can't do

something - I'm overweight and I can tell that people are thinking

that it's my weight keeping me from doing things, not some vague thing

called fibromyalgia - I've actually been accused of making it up! I

am also diabetic and sometimes just so tired and beaten down that I

want to crawl into a hole! I'm on a fair number of meds that have

weight gain as a side effect - my dr tells me to lose weight and to

exercise, but just the thought of it makes me cry! I am an active

person (caring for an aged mother and my husband). Thanks for

listening - it helps to know that others understand. Judi
