Jeanne,

I would like to say your weight loss is greatl03 lbs is fantastic.

Sometimes it is hard for our mates to say nice things or that they love us,

but it doesn't mean that they do not see it. I thank God that at times while

was still working, I also felt like that, since he sees all we have

gone through my MGB and right before, I think he realzes all I do to try my

best, before I do not think he really knew I was trying. He felt it was all

my fault. Now he sees what I eat and how I felt from the begining. I was

surprized when he would say, you really are loosing , or you start to have a

shape, or something nice to make me see that he notices. but at times the

part you all say about lonely is true , he love to watch sports and the

stock reports, so when he is home the TV is only what he wants to watch.

Most of the time I go in another room if I want to watch TV or now since my

MGB I am always on the computer. But sometimes I think like that too. I

feel like we do not do much together, or even talk unless it is about family

things, that he thinks I should do. But I really can not complain now, I am

content with him, and I am sure he loves me, although that he never says

either. But he shows me in so many ways(you have to be able to read it

yourself). Now that I am stuck like 7 weeks now on the same weight he asked

me , are you sure you are not taking things you shouldn't be? He doesn't

understand about plauteaus' but that is ok, I just say, we were told ,

you reard DrR we do not have to diet now, we can have what we want

because we can not eat a lot, as long as it doesn't bother our stomach. But

he always says, I think you are doing good, after all since Jan 26 you have

lost 77 lbs is better to go slower, you never did that before. He knows

everything that I have tried, with no success. In l980 when I had my jaws

wired shut for over a month, he saw all the pain I went through, and he came

home with a full length mink coat it was beautiful, but it was too small,

and I said then it was ok cause I was going to fit into it., in time. I

still never got to use it but one time. Maybe this winter I can use it. I

hope, now I have to go try it on and see. It has been put away all this

time. Jeanne, back to you, I think you are doing wonderful, and going back

to school and all is great, do for yourself now, we always did everything

for everyone else and left ourselves in the background, make yourself number

one. I would like to start to do other things too, I never did for me

either, but then I really could not even get around to do anything and when I

would say I want to do something, I didn't know what. First I have to start

to exercise more, I had started to walk and now I didn't go any more. I

must start again and when I think I would be able to start at a gym to do the

other things, right now that doesn't appeal to me. Hope in time it will.

ok let me close for now. Hope to meet you at the picnic, oh maybe with

school you won't be there, maybe some day. until then we can keep in touch

with email. When ever you want , email me private.

Dear Rosemary,

I wish I could be at the picnic but unfortunatley

Ill be in school. I also just got back from South

Dakota where I went with a friend who had Dr. Obrien

do her MGB the beginning of August. I was gone for two

weeks.

Thanks for the words of wisdom, and Im just playing it

by ear for now...If you are ever in the upstate ny

area let me know maybe we can hook up for a meeting.

Maybe I can make the christmas party if there is one.

Love to all

Jeanne in NY

Jeanne,

Seeing a rheumatologist is a good idea. Maybe you'll find that your

thyroid is causing your joint pain.

Here is some reading on thyroid and muscle/joint pain:

http://www.thyroid-info.com/articles/muscle-joint-pain.htm

I understand those thoughts of putting a permanent end to the pain.

There have been times in the course of my disease I've had

thoughts that the world would be better off without me. I'm so glad I

they were just thoughts. Finding the right meds made a big

difference in my pain level.
