Topic: RE: Weight gain with fibromyalgia
Well from my experience I don't think the fibro actually cause the weight but indirectly it does contribute because you hurt and don't want to move cause it makes it hurt worse. I think those of us that do try to get some exercise have learned to take it very slow and easy. We tend to do things like walking or water exercise so that it isn't so painful. You were probably less active after your accident too so it may have been a combination of things. I'd say the best way to lose is go back to basics, lots of lean protein and non starchy veggies and don't forget lots of water.I wish you luck, it sure would be nice if it were as easy to lose as it is to gain!!!!
Topic: Weight gain with fibromyalgia
Good morning everyone
I am curious did anyone else have weight gain around the time that fibromyalgia was diagnosed or before? I had a car accident about two years ago and gained about 30 pounds since then. I only recently got diagnosed with fibromyalgia about three months ago but wow how to get the weight back off? I had gastric bypass in 2005 and so im at 170 after staying about 145 for a very long time until the accident....does anyone think its correlated? also does anyone have a good RD in the Modesto CA area? any and all information is greatly appreciated.

There are three ways of dealing with difference: domination, compromise and integration. By domination only one side gets what it wants; by integration we find a way by which both sides may get what they wish.........

I was on neurontin for a while, it seemed to help alot, but then all of the sudden, I started swelling up and retaining water, I had to come off of it. Glad to see your doing ok with it,
Topic: RE: Hi His Lady and all Fibromites!!
I have fibro, congestive heart failure, high blood pressure and sleep apnea. I am in my second year of working on my disability. I just had my hearing a couple of weeks ago. Now just waiting. I am taking Lyrica,nabutone,ultracett and oxycodone for breakthrough pain. I also take Lunesta for sleep and use a CPAP with oxygen at night. Some good days, some bad days and some days that I can't get out of bed.
My weight loss is very very slow,but I am still clicking away.I take a silver sneakers arobic class that has been very helpful. Low impact, lots of stretching and balance exercises.
We each just have to work and try to carry on the best we can. Good luck everyone!!

Congrats on your decision. I agree with His Lady, it won't make your fibro go away. But losing weight will make your depression better, your joints will feel better, its a lot of work but well worth the ride. Good luck and keep us posted.
