woohoo way to go Ruby! 

ALRIGHT, RUBY!! That is soo awesome. Your doctor is going to be shocked at how well you are doing. Let me know what the doc says,a nd have a great day! {{{{BIG HUGS}}}}!!! 

Oh My Word, how fantabulous is that. I bet your doctor can tell a dif in you.. Happy dancing for you girl....Bren 

Lol, thanks sooo much ladies! Just got home, won't know anything yet but my doctor, he was shocked at my weight loss. My blood pressure is excellent but as far as the rest of my complaints won't know for a while. Checking my thyroid because I get so freaking cold. Like last week, it's 75 in my apartment and I'm wearing 2 socks, 3 tops and had to put on an extra sweater, a scarf, warm gloves and a hat and still it took 4 hours sitting in front of my heater before I felt warm enough to thin out some of my clothes!! Of course, my hands and feet are usually cold. This has been happening off and on since my late 30's but last week was awful. 

Hmmmm wonder if it has anything to do with the Fibro? But yes, the thyroid is a good possibility! Hope you get some answers soon! HUGS!! 

Stef, it could very well be a product of fibro. There are so many symptoms. I discovered recently that even the neuropathy I have may be more fibro related rather than diabetic. Sigh..  

Or its because you went from being 216 pounds to being 147 and you are noticing the missing insulation that you ahd previously. 

Thats awesome!!! Congrats!!! 

Thanks Pixi (love your name btw) but unfortunately I've had this problem for many years and at many weights much lower than 216. It's just worse I think because I'm older and whatever unrecognized and therefore untreated problem causing this has been there longer too. I remember back in my mid 30's at about 130 lbs going outside in the snow for about 5 minutes tops. I was wearing boots and dressed warm. Came inside and had to strip and layed on the floor right next to my wood stove and could not get warm. I know that wood heating stove was putting out a LOT of heat and the temp outside was about a calm 33. Again, I was near what might seem to be hyperthermia and it took hours to get warm again. I also didn't feel well. Anyway, now I have insurance and am using it to find out if I can :) 

Thanks Bobbi for taking the time to give me warm smiles. Hey, we all can use it <smiling BIG>!!!  

No kidding, I would be using that insurance to the fullest, and hopefully they find out what it is! 

Thanks Pixi, you're the bomb! <smiles> Funny, some days I think I'd like to go back closer to your age before I got this sick. Then I regain consciousness!! LMAO! 

LMAO, I do that a lot. I think back to being like 18 and I am like ohhhhh I miss that... and then I wake up and its like no... no I do not miss being 18 lol 

@Pixi; HAHAHAHA!!! ☺
