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.

Moment of Peace
I am going to look through my moodcharts to see if there is a correlation with the on/offf xyrem...My pdoc said there would not be a problem...ha ha ha. I am only going to be doing the call for a week on & a week off through the end of December , maybe will be done sooner. It will be good to be done with it...even tho it is good experience. the xyrem is so helpful. I am finding that being on it does seem to aid in decreasing my appetite somewhat and losing weight. What do you think? I hope you are having a good Sunday. xx
Hug
Random act of kindness .. full of warm friendship ..

Chocolate

Funny Face
I had to go off Xyrem for a week because I need to be able to answer the phone and problem solve for work--being on call--after hours & all night. I missed it greatly! I am back on now but will be off for another week starting Wed night...grrh. this could be messing with my mood as well. and I can relate to everything you said.

Hug

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 fitnessI 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.
