Congratulations on two counts – the weight loss and on the beginning of stabilization. Sometimes, not being worse is all you need to feel better.

Thanks for your continued optimism…the weight loss goal setting is a great idea. I think I might have a go at it using that same method. If I could get the 10 lbs. of prednisone weight off – I’d feel much better. Especially, since I’ve been off the stuff for 6 weeks or so now. I think I can, I think I can, I know I can, I know I can. See how your positive thoughts translate into my mantra. LOL Hope the Dr. appointment went well and that he/she was duly impressed.

My mum has a wonderful saying about pain – ‘if it moves, it can’t kill you’, now despite her being a nurse that is probably complete rubbish but it helps a bit when in a flare. Really hope things keep looking up for you and brilliant news on the weight loss (I hope you are going to try some of my recipes to keep it off;))Good luck with the rheummy.

Congrats on the weight loss! I sure hope you figure out something with your doc. Seems like you are having such a rough go of it lately. I know you started back on some meds and I can only hope that maybe they will start to kick in and bring you some relief and soon!
