Glad that the neurological stuff was OK.

Sorry to hear about the weight gain, Wiz. However, it sounds like you're still within the range where you should be, so I wouldn't stress. If you want to work at losing it, you can choose to do that. If you don't feel like bothering, it's probably not the end of the world.

MS and the steroid use put 40-45 pounds on me, over 8 or 9 years. And, I was already somewhat overweight.

This past year, I finally decided that, even though meds is not a "fair" way to gain weight, if I want to lose it, "fair" doesn't count; I'd just have to lose it the same way everyone does -- through hard work.

So, I lost 62 pounds in the last year. Am down to under 120 pounds, where I feel pretty good. (I'm 5'3", and a small build, so that's about where I should be. Still weigh almost 20 pounds more than I did when I got married, but, I don't imagine I'll ever get back down to there.)
