I have been gone a while, but I am back. I have had a rough past couple weeks. I recently started up my weigth loss journey again. Only to have one thing after another happen. I am in a "weight loss support group" with all women who are overweight. They say I am making too many excuses, because...

I've already been diagnosed with Fibromyalgia, after which I promptly pissed off my Rheumatologist by saying I thought nobody believed that to be a legitimate diagnosis. He said, "Well, I do."

Hey everyone!
The past couple weeks have been rough! I normally don't dream, used to all the time but since my pain issues started, I don't sleep deep enough and either don't have them or don't remember them I guess? Lol

I say the journey begins, because I am just starting to understand what is possibly causing the the chronic pain and fatigue I have dealt with for the last 5 years. And what a journey it is with no end in sight... and I understand there is no end until the end.
