down days
I wish I knew why have been feeling so down, I have no energy or motivation lately. I am feeling fine health wise. My weight is really getting me down. No matter what I do this weight won't budge, I hate that I feel this way it is so superficial, but I don't even want to go out in public anymore. None of my clothes fit.....and I really like clothes. I don't even want to shop for clothes because nothing looks good or feels good.
I think I might be starting menopause too, but then again I read that the one med I am on (it's a chemo drug) can cause menopause too so I don't know what's up with that.
I wish I could get my mojo back, maybe this is just pms who knows. I have my physical next week and they did blood work to check my hormone levels so I guess I'll see then.
I feel guilty for whining about this when others are having a much harder time than I am, but feelings are feelings right.

Whine away, you are allowed. Menopause, can get you down. Good luck with your physical next week. Hope everything goes well.

I well understand how you feel....no matter what I seem to do I can\'t lose weight. Suffice to say..ITS DAMN FRUSTRATING!!!
Thankfully I do not have prednisone weight, but I do have weight that is tied to my symptoms. It is frustrating. Guilty for whining??? What do you think this site is for??? ;-)
Guilty for whining? If anyone has a reason to whine, vent, throw a fit I most certainly think that you do. I didn\'t think would have a problem with gaining weight on prednisone, but I do. I\'m not superficial either or at least I didn\'t think so, but the places you gain weight is so weird on prednisone. It looks funny. I don\'t think I would notice my weight change if it was overall and not just in a few spots. Head, neck and stomach. I just woke up from a nap myself. I know why I\'ve been down-low iron, really low iron. I thought it was a bug, which I did have, but the exhaustion won\'t go away. Hopefully you will get some answers from the hormone check. Have you had your vitamins checked recently? I hope you get to feeling better and find mojo wherever he went. lol May you find much laughter today. Hugs, Kim
I agree with the weird weight gain! neck, double chin and I look like I could be pregnant. LOL why can\'t it go to my backside where I could use it. I don\'t think it is my iron. I don\'t feel anymore tired than usual. I am curiuos to find out what my hormaone levels are and whether it is med related or natural....if they can tell that or not. Thanks to the mutt I always have some laughter in my day. What would life be without laughter. Thanks for listening
