SOON SLIM SUE
types with one finger
so much has happened to me in the last 4 weeks i don't know where to start.
I've been wallowing in self pity for the last 3 weeks since being diagnosed with PMS "eating bad food and drinking", but today good news, my WLS has helped me, but no one believes me.
this is my story so far.
in august this year L&D took me off all my drugs for bp/cholesterol etc; and i had a clean bill of health for the first time in 25 years, i felt so good so fit and energetic i was invincible.
then in October i thought i had the flu "all aches and pains" instead of getting better i got worse until i couldn't get out of bed because of the pain, my hubby had to literally lift me out of bed and carry me down stairs "good job i had lost 8 stone, or he could not have done this for me" i felt better standing and walking than i did sitting and resting. hubby took me to Dr's and i had blood tests. the results were i have PMS "polymyalgia rheumatica" and was put on a high dose of steroids which seemed to work almost instantly "they are the ones that make you put weight on" but on the other hand one symptom of PMR is you loose weight "you wait for a bus for all these years and 2 come along at once, typical" so my weight lose ticker may go up and down.
anyway to cut a long story short, originally my blood test markers were 90 and today they are 34, i have to get to below 5 and then my steroids will be reduced gradually.
the good news is" and my GP told me this, my WLS is literally saved me without it i would still be in bed in pain with slow progress.
