Hello everyone I hope that I am in the right place....I used to be pretty active on this board years ago....I had been doing pretty well lost about 40 pounds and then one day when I was taking my daily walk my knee ballooned and everyday after that it did the same thing this went on for about a week and then I went to the doctor to find out why and that is when I got the news that I had R/A. At this point the doctor had told me that walking everyday was no longer an option and sent me to the RA doc more then a few rounds predisone....fibromyalgia....depression and I fell in to the fridge not to resurface until I got sick and tired of being fat. Not sure what to do about exercise just yet as my knee still gives me problems and some days it just hurts to move but I have been kind of being more careful with what I eat still not sure that I could pull off the same kind of diet plan that I was on before because it relied on me walking 5 out of 7 days a week....and now it hurts to take a shower most days. I want more out of life my doctor says that lossing weight will help my joints and my back pain.
