Hi ya Ruby, Just plugging along on this Friday. Not much happening. Have a safe and wonderful weekend....Bren 

Thanks Bren. Yeah me too, just plugging away lol. May your weekend be safe and wonderful as well. {{{hugs!}}} 

Hi Ruby, Thanks for your input and encouragement. It seems I learn something new about what effects my diabetic numbers. So far no meds, but honestly I haven't been back to the dr. either, had a serious case of denial. My mother is T2 and has been for years so I was aware that infections and pain would raise numbers. Thanks for the friend request.  

bojilori thanks for the add! I understand. My mother was also T2 and I didn't listen until I was officially dxd. I mean, I KNEW I needed to seriously lose weight but I was so overwhelmed with dealing with my fibromyalgia I just didn't do anything about it. Now, here I am:( Looks like you're doing great on your weight loss! 

How long have you had fibromyalgia? I have a friend here and a dear elderly aunt that also have it, sounds like a miserable condition. What do you take and or do that seems to help? 

Actually I've had fibromyalgia since I was at least 30. Though I've been ill most of my life. I'm 54 now but I was never properly dxd until almost 4 years ago. I take neurotin and tramadol and that "sometimes" helps a little. Usually though when it gets very bad I can barely get out of bed. Though my symptoms and health have improved greatly this winter since changing my diet so I'm very happy with that. I'm also very grateful for my friends on here. I live alone so the support I've found here is greatly appreciated:D {{{hugs}}} 

Ruby, how the heck are you girlfriend? Glad to hear that the snow melted from the streets. It is snowing lightly here now, and we have more coming perhaps Monday into Tuesday...not giving any numbers, which always makes me suspect they are scared to forecast it! Your weight is looking awesome! Wish mine would start mmoving again. lol 

Yo Stef!!! I'm good. Still wish I could put my kids back in the playpen sometimes lol. You know, my weight was stuck for awhile and it's still going sloooow. I'm thinking it's a seasonal thing. We're soppose to be hibernating anyway aren't we??? <grins> 

Hi Ruby, just thinking about you and your comment about more vit D... Sure hope you get some Rays soon but in the meantime stay snuggly warm. TOWANDA!!! 

Staying warm, Lisa! Hope you are as well:)
