:Wave-Hello: Hi everyone, I'm Beth. I'm expanding my horizons beyond just the MS forum, which I love. I was dx'd 10 years ago. Most of my stuff is sensory (read invisible) pain is constant in my hands especially. No relief at all.
My story, lets see, I moved here 2-1/2 years ago from Ohio. I am contemplating going back home. When I moved out here I was 140 lbs. Thinnest in years, I was half way doing South Beach at my sisters where I was living. I found that quite successful, limiting carbs. Out here they have krispy kreme donuts, hot. Wow, I really indulged, and being 40, I think my age caught up with me. I was homesick, left all my family and an excellent p/t job. On Aug 1st at new neuros office I stepped on the scale and weighed in a heart dropping, 198 lbs. :( Back in '06 I had a bad flareup or 4, and did steroids each time, which only increased my weight. I was put on Lyrica, last year, way upped dose this past spring, which I stopped 2 weeks ago, because many said it causes weight gain. I am tending to agree with that assessment. Before I stopped, I was nibbling constantly and now I have to remind myself to eat. This summer, I cut almost 8inches of my hair. In July, I joined a walking group on-line. Bought a pedometer and am tracking my inactive lifestyle. My big activity was to walk to the mailbox at the front of the complex. And I am waiting for my wrist weights to be delivered so I can start my 8 minutes in the morning workout. I am living with my soon to be ex-SO. Shh, he doesn't know yet. I have so much going through my head that focusing on getting my body back seems like the easiest to tackle today. I'm hoping to get to know everyone and I am a good source of encouragment. :hug: |
hmmm...i think i know you..from somewhere. :rolleyes: :p
heheehee..welcome beth!!!:hug: |

To Considerthis
I, too, am becoming bedbound and finding weight maintenance a problem. Do you think that eating acidic foods like orange juice and grapes would help? Do you do anything special to keep from gaining weight? Do you have someone, such as a dh, to help you? What are your other heath concerns or interests? I am finding that it is not too easy to eat and type at the same time, so that working these forums is helpful to me! Would enjoy corresponding with you! billie '

Thanks
It's me again. Forgot to thank you for the information on the importance of B12. Will try to increase my intake. Bless you for sharing.

Didn't notice this introductions thread, at first.

GERD/IBS diet
I am old, too, coming in at age 66 and have just found out I have IBS (so that's the reason for all the pain over the years). Am on Prilosec PPI and am doing much better. Hoping to keep my weight down now that I am able to eat bread again.
