Hello

hi. Sorry I have been Mia.. I am having extreme pain in my knees/legs. I am in pain all the time and I am not sleeping well at night. My Dr's told me they can't help me because I'm "too young and too overweight" for knee replacement. I am so angry about it. It isn't fair. How the h*** am I supposed to lose weight when I hurt so bad. I am only going to the gym like 2 times a week and i used to go everyday!!!



I am also struggling with severe depression I am supposed to start a new job on Monday. I am praying that it will go well and I can just settle into a familiar routine. I can't get excited about anything. I feel like I am destined to fail.  I am praying that all will be well though.

I am sorry you are in pain and in depression. Try to improve slowly like they say, "Pushing yourself from the table is the best exercise (to lose weight)." Do you have a doctor that can prescribe medication for depression? Or do you have a therapist you can talk with? If your problem is clinical, you need MEDICAL help.

    So I have been having a lot of health issues and my cardiologist felt that he didn't get clear enough images of my heart in the office, so he wanted to do a Trans-esophegeal heart Echocardiocgram in the hospital. I was pretty nervous about it, because I've never had any procedures related to my heart or any other major organs. I've had knee surgery and thyroid surgery, but to me anything to do...
