    • About Me

      I appreciate the simple things in life, a good book, a child's smile, a great cup of coffee (Starbucks), shopping at the market (we have 2 amazing markets here in Toronto - both very different), observing the crazy antics of my shitzu, to name a few. Diagnosed with Fibro February 2006 but that was just the official diagnosis. I suspect that I have actually had fibro since my late 20's. I am currently in a study for a new treatment that is supposed to CURE fibro.

    • Close Fibromyalgia

      I have now found a really good doctor. He published a book about Fibromyalgia called "Validation and Hope".

      Treatments

      Oxycodone Working / Worked
      Took for 2.5 years and have now stopped. They stopped working for me.
      Physical Exercise Somewhat Helpful
    • Close Healthy Eating

      About 7 years ago I went from a size 22 to a size 10 (see my pics) through diet and exercise. I had high cholesterol and was at risk for diabetes and many other weight related illnesses. I took a course in nutrition and have lots of knowledge to share. I LOVE eating healthy. EAT healthy, CRAVE healthy.

      Treatments

      Physical Exercise Working / Worked
      I have not been working out lately because of current circumstances but I was in better shape at 45 than I was at 20!
      Xenical Working / Worked
      I had plateaued and I used Xenacal for 6 months to kick start my weight loss again.
    • Open Loneliness

      Due to job loss and money issues, I lost my home and my son went to live with his dad. Split up with my partner of many years and now I find myself alone. The silence sometimes is deafening. I also moved to another area of the city and have no friends.

    • Open Fitness Goals
      Type: Improve overall fitness

      I used to work out until I got Fibromyalgia. My meds now have my Fibro under well enough control that I want to get back into shap-e again. My arms used to be very noticeably toned. I want that again - plus I need to lose weight and inches. I have gone up 2 sizes.

      Treatments

      Elliptical Trainer Working / Worked
      Part of my cardio routine to lose weight. Less stressful on your joints than running or treadmill.
      Personal Trainer Working / Worked
      I used a trainer for 2 years and lost 85 lbs. Gained back 40 over last 5 years because of Fibro. Trainer motivated me and taught me correct form. Also changed things up which is key when you plateau.
      Running Working / Worked
      Treadmill. Also used treadmill for circuit training (in conjunction with weight training).
      Weight Training Working / Worked
      Loved it and became very toned.
