      Been addicted to pasta and bread for as long as I can remember.

    • Close Obesity

      Been overweight since i was a little kid. It just got worse from about 5th grade up to about 11th or 12th.

      Pasta and White bread are my pit falls.
      Physical Exercise Too Soon to Tell
      Aqua Aerobics Class at the YMCA
      Weight Watchers Not Working
      Tried it when I was younger. I followed the points, but I used them all eating pasta and bread...so I did not loose weight. Then I tried it again when I was a little older, but when I ate really well I gained weight and when I ate heavier I lost weight. It was too weird for me.

    • Open Chronic Pain

      Very long story. Basically, Neuropathic pain in my feet. Started over a year ago. Seemed to keep gradually getting worse. Docs are still a bit puzzled...but they think it might have something to do with High Blood Sugar and something Rheumatological.

      Treatments

      Could be more helpful.. I think if the dose is adjusted it will be great.
