Hey. I am so glad to see you back. I've wondered and worried about youfor a long time. It sounds like you are doing better. Try not to worry about weight gain maybe the trainer can get it off of you. I do understand about Drs. I've had some pretty bad ones here in AZ, for my diabetes. Take care and again so glad to see you back.

Thanks so much, Karen. If I'm out of bed I'm happy now LOL. I got pretty sick, so weight is the last issue I'm tackling. It's more for strength and endurance that I took on a trainer.

It seems less and less doctors know what the hell is going on. I'm so sorry about the diabetes. I got it when I started pred. As I weened down on pred and lost weight it was better, but as soon as I upped the damn medication it came back. It's finally under control again and I'm only on 1 medication from it, but mine was more pred induced. I know many people that have a hard time finding a good doc for diabetes. I finally found a good endocrinologist that knows how to help. Phew!

I've been on prednisone and chemo for over 7.5 years. Gained over 160 pounds due to pred. Highest wt. 410. Surgery wt. 365. Current wt. 299

Revision on 08/16/12

It is soooo good to see you again!

I'm sorry you're struggling with the weight thing but very glad you're feeling (and sounding) better and at least better able to move.

I don't know what "diet" to suggest - I guess WW is as good as any - pretty well-balanced, anyway.

Stay around this time, you hear?
