Hi,@granmar, I just wanted to add my little bit here about weight loss. I am not "there" yet by any means, but I have lost enough weight that I do not have to constantly rely on strong medicines to live every day. Turned out, two of my meds were recalled as possibly containing carcinogens.

I don't have to wear clothes from the large lady sections anymore, and I am able to get around much better. My fibromyalgia flares are fewer and farther between. It took me a long time to change my thinking about food. But I am comfortable with my decision to eat to live instead of the other way around. I try to stay active and plan to get back to my water aerobics class soon.

Thanks for all your encouragement!
