Ok Meme, hugs might not do the trick, but this will help, I am sure. Look after her, because we have to pass her around from time to time.

THANKS!!!
 

I feel better already...you're an angel!

Pasta
 

Happy Canuk -I think you are right about the pasta turning into sugar in the system. But never the less I still like my pasta. My sister will have to limit it. She lives with a nice Italian guy. We both are on the weight loss battle. I have done pretty good and would like to lose a few more. She is doing well to. We are trying to keep each other inspired to lose although she lives in New York( soon to be here in Florida year round).
Maybe you need a vitamin that will increase your energy... Maybe B or some Iron- Talk to your Dr.
I am a big believer of the value of vitamins..Bye for now....Joanne

Fibromyalgia-food and exercise
 

I read all the messages and I wanted to add something-I have had fibromyalgia for 30 years-some of them undiagnosed-and I wanted to sharewhat works. About the food-wheat causes me pain and wheezing and milk products also cause pain-also acidic food-is there anything left to eat. Right now I am trying Suzanne Somers program again-anyone tried that.? Best thing I'm doing right now is a program at the YMCA called Arthritis in the water. I still have to be careful because I can hurt myself. They also are having an Ai Chai program in the water which I just love. I actually tore my rotator cuff doing yoga so I don't do that anymore. I sleep well-50 mg of trazedone at night-and 400mg 2x a day of Tolmetin so my pain is manageable.Hoping to hear from someone-Mima

Hi new people....in the time it took for the screen to come up, I forgot your names. Fibro fog.
But welcome, and it will take us a while to get to know each other.
Pasta and sugar. Happy, what a great amount of typing you did. And informative.
I eat things I shouldn't but then I eat them because I am upping fiber. Sometimes this just gets too complicated.
I am still on 5-HTP....are you Meme? I went off for over a week as I heard you should take breaks from it. oooops. That put me in a mood. I think my body needs serotonin so bad. I wanted sugar thw whole time I was off.
Gotta go help my son in the bath.........

We are all a little nutzzzzzzzzz
 

Or we couldn't live with the pain we have!:lol:

Been busy all day trying on clothes that are just too big! They will have to do for now..I'm almost packed..I hate taking trips cause there is too much stuff to take..at least I have room cause DH and son #2 are not going.

I'm off to Missouri, about a 6 hour drive for me but we stop a lot so I can pee and walk! Sould be back next Thursday..I will miss you all but I packed my walking shoes and clothes and some veggies for the car..oh water too!


Welcome Joanne and Ben!

Anne...I just rest..that is when I can't move anymore and then it comes back! I think the anxiety is what keep s me going can't sit still or I will go crazy( and we all know that is not very far away!):lol:

Meme..hope you get to feeling better..you poor baby!

Hi Mima
 

and Welcome. I think I agree with wheat being a problem for me as well. I am a bread addict. I actually gain weight just from eating the stuff. When I leave it alone, I know I feel better and also lose weight fairly easily. Wheat, sugar, caffeine are all bad for me. I try to limit them, but when I get that exhaustion going on, it is like I don't have a brain of my own. My body seems to be screaming for help to get it going. Also, a little brain fog settles in at the same time. If I use a quick fix like a couple of chocolate bars, my blood levels rise, I start to feel better, and they tend to even out then. I tried yesterday to be good, and made a smoothie, with a banana, some strawberries and pineapple, ice. Great drink, AND it worked as well as the chocolate bars. If I just eat a piece of fruit - nothing.

Joanna - I don't think pasta is going to hurt you, if you don't notice any symptoms from eating it. I also love pasta, but have been eating the wholewheat kinds. I enjoy it just as much.

Phyllis - where in the world have you gone! Get back here, please.

Ally - So is the fiber diet working for you? At least it should be keeping you fuller.

Meme - hope you are feeling better today. That little angel has to work hard to keep up to you(lol)!

Candice - Enjoy your trip. Hope it doesn't leave you so sore and tired that you don't enjoy your trip.

Well ladies, have a great day.

Hello
 

Hi All-
Hi Candicej- Thanks for the welcome,I Live in a small town in Florida. These sites help me to meet Some nice people and get some good information.
Happy Canuk- I will try to find the wheat pasta. Sometimes it is not so easy to find different foods down here in the south. If it is not a hot item the stores don't carry them.. Bread is a big thing for me too. I can easyly make a meal on bread(deli) alone.
Tootie -tolmetin - produces anti-inflammatory,analgesic and antipyretic effects,possibly through inhibition of prostaglandin synthesis. It is for Rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis among a few other ailments.
Trazodone- Inhibits serotonin uptake to the brain--for depression.
