I am a 42 year old married woman with one son.  My husband is Tommie and my son is Logan.  I have had asthma since I was six, I now have RA, Fibromyalsia, migraines.  I am always in pain I have just learned how to live with it.  Some days are worse then others.  I have always battled my weight.   At two seperate times in my life I was able to get to 160, however that was eating very little and working out at the gym 6 days a week 3 hours each night.   I would start by stretching and then do the stairmaster then I would do a step class then I would do weights.   I was also single at the time with only myself to think of.   A year before I got married I found out I had RA and it was in my feet very badly.  My workouts suffered and I slowly started to gain weight.   My hubby was so awesome he would rub and massage my feet for me, he was so awesome!!  I finally got my RA under control with Plaquinell (sp).  Then we decided to have a baby.   I had to go off all drugs for 6 months before even attempting to have a baby.   I started working out again trying to get my weight under control.   Then Yeah, after about 9 months of trying, I got pregnant.   During the pregnancy my RA  went into remission, thank the lord.   After I had Logan I joined another gym, and every night after work I would pick up Logan and I would work out for about an hour and a half.   I lost 20lbs. I was doing power walking but at 5'2 and 260lbs not such a good idea.   I damaged my heals, and my arthritis came back.   I went to my doc and she put me back on the plaquinell but it didn't do anything.   She tried several things and in the mean time she sent me to the foot doc.   I had Planteofascitis (sp) sigh.....really bad in my right heel.   He gave me a cortizone shot and that helped for about a month.  Took about 3 shots and several differant drugs and customized arch support for my shoes.   Then I had to baby my feet, it took two years to get completely over that.  By that time I had gained the 20 back.   I was also in 2 different car accidents that damaged my neck.  And I found out that I had fibromyasia as well.   Over the past year I have been sick so many times the ladies at the urgent care know me.    I have had chronic bronchitis and once I even saw my own pcp in the urgent care and he asked me who my pcp was?   I was like...your kidding right?   Then I'm all uhhhhh you are.    I can't remember what his reaction was, it took a new doc in the urgent care to actually look at my chart.  I went in and when he asked me what was wrong I just started crying and he said...oh hey what's wrong?  I said I am so tired of being sick.   I had been in and out of the urgent care about every 2 weeks for the whole school year and when it continued during the summer I just couldn't take it.  In the past five months or so I have had really bad heart burn.  I am just so ready to lose the weight and become healthy again.  I really am looking forward to being active again and being able to become a part of the family and go on family outings and enjoy myself.
