Guest guest Posted January 5, 2006 Report Share Posted January 5, 2006 I was always very thin. I was diagnosed with asthma when I was 32 ( I'm 53 now) and fibro 10 years ago. The meds for the asthma deficiently put weight on and I have not been able to get rid of it. Also 10 Years ago I was diagnosed with lymes. I have degenerative disc disease, sever arthritis. I really believe the medicines are causing me not to lose weight. My regular med is handling my fibro. He is very much against pain meds. I am taking tramadol but its pretty much useless. He tells me "I'm thinking you go on a diet and exercise". I almost slapped him. Let me explain I tried the anti depressants when I was diagnosed. They were terrible. The pain was no better but I woke up with a hang over every morning. So I pretty much suffer. The weight stays the same. 215lbs. I can get down to 200 but if I have an asthma problem I go right back up. God Bless you and yours God Bless America Love ya, Gail -- Re: About weight I haven't experienced any extreme weight gain... I have been fat allmy life. However, I have noticed that it is EXTREMELY difficult for meto lose any weight since the fibromyalgia has become full blown. Ihave tried many different diets, walking, etc and still can not loseany of the weight. My goal for the new year is to start using arebounder daily and to do Pilates' in the hopes of at least toning up.
