The old Lounge?
Is the old Lounge, and its posts still available anywhere? Would like to re-visit a thread I started in May 2010 when I started having all of my health issues. Just wondering.

Quite an accomplishment for anyone without a medical condition. She said she hasn't had any symtoms in over 6 months.

Re: The old Lounge?
That's awesome. I've walked about four hundred miles this year so far, am down over thirty pounds since Feb 25th,, and feeling as great as I ever have. 1998, I was 270 pounds; May 2010 I was 260, today I was 203. Blood tests that I get four times a year shows everything is very well, so I'm happy with everything. It'll be three years next month since I was diagnosed. Have had very little symptoms since. In April I joined a local gym for the month. I would walk 1 3/4 miles there, spend two hours, then walk 1 3/4 miles home. That was a big no-no, so I stick to walking the backroads here in the sticks of Pensyltucky.

Glad to see that you're doing well. Nothing like a walk to help prolong our lives, kind of like the apple a day will keep the Doctor away.lol Claude

Hey MIke, I was diagnosed 3 years ago next month also. Just the heat kicks my *****. Other than that, doing fine.

Re: The old Lounge?
The heat bothers me a bit, but I try to stay on task. I walked thirty-four miles the past nine days (two days I didn't walk at all). Sweat a lot, but I finally made my weight goal on Friday (199 pounds). Most of the last 15 years I was 250 or more (was 270 at one point, was 255 in May 2010). I am blessed that very seldom do I have any negative effects from M.S. And next week I am supposed to get the Avonex FlexPen (auto inject) so I can give myself my weekly injections. I go back to my Neurologist in December, to talk about possibly starting an oral medication (pills), but Dr said if I am doing so well on Avonex injections, it might be better to stay on those. Time will tell. I get blood work done four times a year, mainly to check liver function. My blood sugar, A1C, liver, kidney, thyroid, etc are all good, as well as good and bad cholesterol (though I am still on a pill for cholesterol to bring it down just a bit). I am off Metformin now, my blood sugar is great and most days below 90 in the morning when I check. My Vitamin D is low, so I am on 2,000 units a day (doubled from a few months ago). Other than that, all is well here.
