      From PeaceN2You June 20

      No worries - just some light work on the weight machines - very light weights and only a few reps to start. I'm going mostly to support hubby. He had gastric bypass about 18 months ago, and he's "stuck" at 125 lbs down, and knows he needs to exercise to get the weight loss going again. I just thought as long as he's going, I may as well get some benefit to myself as well. Don't worry - I won't push it - I'm in a bit of a flare and not sure how much I can do at all - let alone overdo it LOL

    • Get Well Soon!

      From PeaceN2You June 20

      Don't worry about "dropping" anything on me - isn't that part of support? I'm in a flare myself - oddly enough it's only my legs mainly - a bit more pain than usual everywhere but my legs feel like two large toothaches and I'm sick of it - been about 10 days now. We joined a gym today and it has a hot tub - I'm going to start with the machines tomorrow and then get in the hot tub and hope that the warm water makes a difference.

      Just read your response to my post about the nause and vomiting. 5 weeks for you ?! OMG!!! You might want to ask for Phenergan or Kerafac (not sure if I spelled that right). I've had to take Phenergan before...Phenergan is also used for people with Cancer going through Chemo to help with the nausea and vomiting, so it's strong and it works. Carafac, or Kerafec..don't know how to spell it... is what my doctor just prescribed for me..supposed to work along with my GERD medicine (Protonix) and it's supposed to coat the stomach to reduce the acid ...

      I was just looking at your profile and I have chronic sinus infections too. I forgot to add that to my long list of things.

      I just accepted your friend request. You can read my journal entries now... It's like a book... It's almost a year's worth of daily entries. I should print it out and get it published and get rich.. LOL.
