Hello everyone!

I have severe fibromyalgia and recently found myself having a great deal of difficulty walking I had to do something so I joined Dr. B diet because of all the weight I gain while taking meds to control my fibromyalgia pain.

Hi BlueIvy welcome to the gang. So sorry you have fibro. Yes quite a lot of us struggle to walk at times. It is a horrible illness. Ask as many questions as you need to or just come and have a chat. We're a friendly group. Take care xx

Hello Blueivy and welcome.....I think many of us have increased in size since Fibro due I think to the meds and lack of exercise....I'm not sure what Dr.B diet is but wish you well on it....let us know so we can all get back to our sylph like figures we had!! x

I have gained a stone but i still wear some of my clothes from 6 years ago. I can only think that it must be the fluid that i have in myjumbo feet and legs.

Hi Hun, have you ever been referred for hydroptherapy? It helps me enormously when my mobility is poor,, in between I go to local swimming pool with my daughter, she swims and I sit in the hot tub Jacuzzi and soak in the bubbles, just as good but not enough room to excercie.

Hi, I think there are a lot of us who have gained weight due to medication, inactivity or a combination of both, and we do struggle sometimes to lose it.

I do not know what a Doctor B diet is all about, but if it suits you, then go for it!

Hello everyone!

I hope everyone is feeling ok, Thank you to all of you who responded to me I wasn't sure if I should get involved in the group I guess I'm not use to talking about my illness. but I'm glad that I did. There is a lot of nice people here Dr. B as a lot of people call him it really short form for Dr. Bernstiene I think it's only here in Canada and its a diet that's under the supervision of doctors and nurses,They inject you three time a week with vitamin B12 and put you on a very strict diet and if you follow it it seems to work but I really don't know if I can do it for long I'll give it my best shot and see how long I can do it. xx

Hello! So Ive been on this diet call the Dr. B and so far lost 8.4 pound I Know that most of you don't know what this is but if there's anyone that does please let me know I'd love to hear from you. I really don't know how long I can keep this up I find it so hard but not being able to walk because of the fibro pain and so much weight to carry around I'm trying to keep going so if anyone has any information I would really appreciate what ever help I can get thank you.
