" Hey There!

Between meds, illnesses, heredity, menopause I can't lose any weight. I'm on prednisone, sulfasalazine, Humeria, Soma, Norco, klonopin, cymbalta, topamax, Ultram, Fiorinal with codeine, treximet, methotrexate, and provigil.

And they treat my fibromyalgia, osteoarthritis in my spine, knees, and hands, rheumatoid arthritis, scoliosis, degenerative discs, bulging discs, tethered spinal cord, ice pick headaches, tendinitis, bursitis, migraines, narcolepsy, sleep apnea, tension headaches, TMJ syndrome, carpal tunnel syndrome, depression, and patellofemoral pain syndrome. I have gained nearly 100lbs since I started getting sick.

I have given up trying to lose weight since I live a vegan lifestyle. And I don't eat much a day either.

So I totally understand where you are coming from. It is really hard to lose weight. And I admire people who can with the conditions we have and the meds we take. "
