Hello friends, I'm new to this group.

[Guest guest]

I have RA, Lupus, Fibromyalgia and the worst demon...Peripheral

Neuropathy, that presents an intense, burning, itching, pain that is

very difficult to get under control. I am 62 and weigh 175# at 5'4 " .

My normal weight is around 130. If I could just get down to 150# I

would be very happy. I know it would make my knees and legs stop

hurting and my veins stop breaking. My legs look absolutely horrid.

So far, my Arthritis has been controlled nicely with an Advil Gel

Cap, but I can walk half a block before I have to stop and rest. I

have got to get in the habit of strolling in the afternoons. I

joined Weight Watchers, and I think it will be a big help. If any of

you want to talk, I will be happy to hear from you at home. My email

friends are the most important people in my life outside of my

family. I am going through a divorce after 41 years of a wonderful

marriage until I got sick and a younger girl comes along and you can

guess the rest of the story. Wishing all of you comfy days and big

huggs....

Love, Cile
