Getting helthier!?

Really? Could I be getting healthier?? In about 7 months my PFTs have gone from a baseling of 47% to 57%. 10 whole points! 60% is within reach here people! I gotta start riding my bike to work! I bet that would kick it into gear even more. I could probably lose a couple of pounds too.

In 2 months I've gained 6 pounds! I mean I know insulin helps you keep your weight but this is nuts! My clothes don't fit and I cannot afford to replace my wardrobe! Plus I am getting cottage cheese thighs! I never thought I would have to worry about cellulite, that's for other people.

Going on lyrica has helped my pain immensely! I have been in pain on some level, every day for 10 years! And now its rare that I even need to take Tylenol. The massages were great but they were not this good, and no match for the aches that antibiotics gave me! I see the rhuematologist at the beginning of June and if he doesn't hook me up with a longer perscription he better watch out!
