I've bought the scales and I have my prescription of Duromine 30mg ready to go. I'll start on Monday.
Here's a little bit about myself:
I was diagnosed with Psoriatic Arthritis about 3 years ago. Two years ago I gave in because I couldnt cope with the pain and was given Prednisolone for pain management. It didnt work and I just gave up. Then I was given Endep...great for sleep quality (less pain) but not so great with weight management. About 15 months ago I gave up my 30 year 30 cigarette a day habit. I watched what I ate. Im not a huge eater anyway. Then my rheumatologist put me on Lyrica for pain management because I was now diagnosed with Fibromyalgia AND OsteoArthritis.
I went from an extremely active person to a couch potato who still couldn't move properly without hurting. Some days I couldn't even turn over in bed. The perky small size 12 ballooned into a size 18 in just over 12 months. Today I weigh 85kg....my doctor tells me Im 25kg overweight (yep! there you go! Ive said it outloud)
Im swimming twice a week for 45 mins and I intend to do some light walking each other day.
I resigned from my job at Christmas time so I could do some self care like accupuncture and remedial massage to help with pain levels.
Im so looking forward to this journey .Im ready for change!!!!
