I'm very impatient to see if I'm accepted into grad school or not. <BR/><BR/>Severe restricting, especially for a prolonged time, can indeed "train" your body to metabolize muscle to maintain fuel for itself. It's like your body is eating it's own muscles. I was on prednisone for my first twenty years of life and it didn't do anything to lower my setpoint, that's for sure. *sigh*Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01653308834045430167noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37094956.post-10609653316767801682008-04-09T23:47:00.000-06:002008-04-09T23:47:00.000-06:00Hi there.

Relate well to most ...except, I like to exercise (I know, I'm strange) but can't because of Myasthenia Gravis and Lupus (stupid muscle and joint things ;) ..) <BR/><BR/>I have severe weight issues due to idiotic prednisone. My endocrinologist also blames a nasty eating disorder and severe restricting .. (aka fasting ) he claims my body clings to every ounce of food it gets and is now eating itself ..and turns muscle into fat or some such nonsense. Yeah, I'm doing well with that theory. <BR/><BR/>I am going back to school at the "tender" age of 43 to get my degree in psychology. Hey, in 10 years I'll still be 53 whether I go to school or not right? <BR/><BR/>Gulp. <BR/><BR/>Love your blog, agree with the clothing choices available to us! <BR/>Grin!Dreaming againhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15717590226520457326noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37094956.post-36673333338252608772008-04-07T15:34:00.000-06:002008-04-07T15:34:00.000-06:00We had a speaker at the hospital a few months ago ...We had a speaker at the hospital a few months ago who talked about how exercise in a warm-water pool is helpful to people who are suffering from pain due to fibromyalgia. While what you have probably isn't fibromyalgia, I'm glad you were able to be active. I can imagine the buoyancy of the water might help with being able to move with a lot less pain.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37094956.post-78859086398759327642008-04-06T20:30:00.000-06:002008-04-06T20:30:00.000-06:00Great to hear good news!!!Great to hear good news!!!Krista Longhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16346193045496486966noreply@blogger.com
