    Thanks Miamia! Glad at least she hasn't been totally miserable throughout the challenge period.

    Yep, I got that feeling too.

    I LOVED this!!! I'm sending it off to my friend who is chronically ill with fibro.

    Wow, thanks Sophie! THere are some things you mentioned that I HAVEN'T tried and think I will, lol. Thanks again.

    Yep, I've been trying to mix it up a bit in the last few months...kind of cycling between heavy and lighter and fewer and more reps.

    Mine too.

    Yes, I do a little walking, but even when I was doing a lot more cardio (even interval training) I couldn't see muscle. Now THAT was a bit frustrating...and even when I was at my lowest weight I never saw muscle. My abs look good though. I LOVE lifting heavy because I HATE doing endless reps, lol. So even with all that, I still don't show muscle....

    Yah, I was wondering about the connection to celiac myself, but I've never had a rash of any kind. I was also wondering about candida or yeast overgrowth...one of my doctors was pretty sure I had a problem with it. My new doctors are testing for it now, so I'll know in a couple of weeks. I'll have to try NOT scratching, but I don't know if I can.....

    Fortunately, I always seem to have enough energy for a bicep curl, but lower body is another story! I used to rush through my sets, but I really have to take the breaks now. I've never gotten to that "skinny" state, but for as much as I have worked out over the last 4 years, one can't really see any muscles unless I flex, lol...the doctor has me taking...

    Exactly! And you are certainly entitled to a down day as are we all here! Hoping you don't stay down for long though!
  12. dlp252
    Yep, after I had time to think about it, I realized that when I started the 1 part per day, I actually added exercises...I can cut out a couple of them and still work the parts well especially since they'll get assists from some of the other exercises. I was just bummed a bit cuz the weights are practically the only thing I have left. I can't do the intense...

    Yep, they're quick to blame it on emotional states. I feel slightly better in some ways than I did a year ago, but worse in others. Okay, me, lol. Yah, I'm an arm swinger too...I natural walk is pretty fast and well, you just can't help but swing the arms. I try NOT to do it at work though because, well, I might hit someone...

    Hello and welcome!

    Wow Carla, I'd get emotional in her office with what she said, lol. Anyway, I'm glad they are sending the test in for you! My doctor also said healing goes in cycles, and she also said that eventually I'll have more good days than bad...in other words, it kind of sneaks up on you. I don't know...hard to believe that when we've been feeling so bad for so...

    who'd'a thunk, lol...actually looking forward to going to my chiropractic/PT session just so I can leave work, lol.
  17. dlp252
    I'm here, lol. The afternoon person called in sick and the office administrator put out an email saying such, and now everyone is trying to get their stuff in before I leave at 2:20. Soooo, been busy with WORK.
  18. dlp252
    I'm so sorry! I'm frustrated for all of us right now.
  19. dlp252
    Thanks Sally! Mangoes weren't on the list of foods they allergy tested me for, but my allergist said they could test for it if I bring the food in...I may do that. In the meantime, I've cut them out again and the itchiness is slowly subsiding, although am still scratching in the middle of the night.
  20. dlp252
    I feel this way from time to time too...fortunately it's not very often and it's not very strong, but I definitely have regrets about stuff I SHOULD have done or wish I'd done. We can't really change any of that, all we can do is make the most of what we have NOW and what we have left. Along with the suggestions about what might counteract some of...

    Cecile!!!!! Was just wondering where you've been! How are you!?
  22. dlp252
    Thanks for the update Judy!!! Still praying for her!
  23. dlp252
    Hum, they didn't give me a spray, but they've prescribed about 4 different kinds of creams which didn't help. I scratch until I'm bloody too...it's awful.

    Fortunately I haven't fainted yet, but nearly did in my surgeon's office during a pre-op appointment in January...they routinely take blood pressure when you first go in...they took it immediately when I said I felt like I wsa going to pass out...it had dropped by more than 10 points. That time it felt like the room was going black and starting from the...

    Not even the aquafor helped mine. I do put coconut oil on either before I dry off or just afterward when I shower, which helps slightly.
