been gone for a while

I haven't been around for a while.  Lots of crap going on.   I lost 20 pounds due to diarrhea issues brought on by meds.  Finally got that straightened up but I do have issues with IBS.  Since I have some chronic health problems I have to take so many meds of various types.  Some of them just didn't agree.  Then I had carpal tunnel surgeries (a week apart) this summer and am still suffering a lot of pain from that so typing/writing is very rough.  My BMI has dropped from 41.3 down to 39.3.  I don't mind the weight loss at all ... just the way it happended!  No fun. I have been DXd with sleep apnea and am still trying to adjust to that cpap.  I usually rip it off in the night!  But when I manage to keep it on all night I do feel somewhat  better the next day.  I had a breathing test this week so I am waiting on those results.  I feel like all I do is go to DRs and go here and there for this test and that test.  :-( NOW I am working on SSDI application.  I have not been able to work since Feb due to all of my health issues.  I am also back to pursuing weight loss surgery.  It fell to the back of the line due to all of this other fun stuff going on. Hopefully I can become active on here again.  ((((((( hugs to all )))))))

Hopefully you're on your way to being healthy. You may end up having to add a med like Prilosec or Nexium to protect your stomach from all of the meds. Is your application for IBS, sleep apnea, and CTS? Sorry if I'm being too nosey. Also, how old are you? It did take a while for me to adjust to my CPAP when I used it. Good luck!!
