Guest guest Posted February 20, 2008 Report Share Posted February 20, 2008 Morning Mandi, I do agree that weight is not the end all of our problems with our health and this disease and for that matter all diseases! It does play a big part for Still's disease on our joints though as you mention. I was as you, only 107 at my lowest weight of my onset and then after for at least 15 years 130 and am 5'9 " tall. But with that low weight I still had to have both hips and my right knee totally replaced. So, yes it can happen that we can have much joint damage and be skinny or be heavy and not have any. Just points out the fact that healthy is better, but with Still's and the weight bearing joints " I believe " lighter is better. ----- Original Message ----- From: MLH951@... lot is blamed on weight (some deservedly so) but it can be so damn annoying when you know its not EVERYTHING. I said from the very beginning when I'll my joint symptoms got really bad that if I was over weight I would be more likely to be dismissed and told to lose weight like that would solve the problem. I get the oversimplification that sometimes makes you want to smack some of the experts! LOL Not literally of course!
