Someone.. anyone.. hints.. ideas.. help..

Well geeze Monkey, I don't want to say your doc is a moron, but it only make sense that if you're a diabetic and having all of this abnormal swelling, given your family history...you need more EXTENSIVE tests and a 'specialist'.  I read somewhere in my travels that it's hard to make a diagnosis with some of this stuff. 

Now don't get pissed at me, but I thought about you when I was reading something.  It said that nephrotic symdrome could cause weight loss, but it is masked by the edema.  See, you IS skinny underneath all of tha****er weight!  Just sayin'.

Hey Lori:
I don't have any hints or ideas other than the ones already mentioned - you definitely need to find a physician who is willing to investigate your issue further.

I DO want you to know that you are an inspiration to me.  Keep your chin up and when you hit 199, we'll have a big ol' celebration! 
We loves ya,
Kimmie

I've tried like all hell to keep my chin up
I have
I've tried to stay positive
I was sure I could beat this

Now.. I really don't give a **** anymore

the pants I bought last week don't fit this week

I hit 220 today

Last week I hit 203

I took a **** LOAD of lasix and it's not helping

I swallowed a couple of bottles of magnesium citrate

today I started with egg yolks again

I'm punishing myself and it ain't helping so.. sorry.. chin is not up.............................  I'm no one's inspiration.................... I am just a failure.. like every other effin' thing I start.. I can't finish this.

Hey Lor:
I know how you feel.  It's been almost impossible to keep my chin up lately too but try to focus on and celebrate your success.  You've lost MANY pounds and you ARE a success!!  Obviously your body is reacting to something - it's not in your control so just try to stay positive and know that you ARE an inspiration to us and you WILL achieve your goal.
We loves ya, girlfriend!
