[QUOTE="Californiablonde, post: 641585, member: 2196"] The appointment went as expected. My EKG and chest X rays came back normal. The doctor seriously doubts I have heart issues but just in case I'm being referred to a cardiologist for more tests. The referral will go through by Friday and I am to call and schedule my appointment then. In the mean time I am battling pain every day. Right now as I'm typing I have joint pain in my arms, hands, and fingers. Sometimes the pain radiates down my back and into my legs. My doctor recommended taking over the counter pain relievers which I've already been taking aspirin for. Sometimes the medications help, and other times they don't do crap. So I'm back at square one till I see the cardiologist. I am very dismayed to say that I gained back every single pound I lost on weight watchers. Literally every single one. I started out at 171 pounds, went down to 154, and now I'm back up to exactly 171. At my height that puts me right in the obese category. I asked my doctor about weight loss surgery and she said that it's definitely a possibility. I am going to schedule a consult after the holidays. It seems like I just can't seem to lose any weight on these damn antidepressants they keep giving me. I am getting fed up with myself. In the meantime I will go back on weight watchers and try and lose some of this weight on my own. Being in pain all the time and being overweight isn't much fun. [/QUOTE]
