Welcome, PenPal Kelty!
Wish there could be a better excuse for belonging to this club than what we go through - the dues are pretty steep! You bring up a good point about how being overweight in itself is unhealthy and compounds the other miseries. Having fibromyalgia myself as well as depression, there is no motivation to exercise and besides it hurts worse for the next few days. I already wake up and hobble around in the morning like a 90 year old and a good brisk workout does NOT make it better. But I am excited, I have hope...I just received from Amazon today my new Oxycise videos (oxycise.com) and the principle behind them makes alot of sense as far as using oxygen to burn fat without whipping oneself to a frenzy. If I could only get to a steady state, just a little movement every day, I really think I can maintain my own in this depression/anxiety/fatigue battle. Laying in bed or flopping on the couch will not make this thing go away.
It is so important for us all to support each other through this. No matter how much someone loves you, or wants to understand, if they haven't walked through this Hell they can't really go there with you. If you find a med combo that works, please let us know. And if we're ever so down we can't do anything else, let's at least log on to Babble and hang out with our buds. Take care and hope to hear from you soon. Hi Janelle! - Barbara
