    I am feeling bad because I think I have started a new flareup. I have fizzy feet and some numbness and a bit of displacement. Also I went to doctor on thursday for unexplained foot pain...i am icing it and keeping it up. It feels like it has been crushed. I am not sure if that is a MS thing or something else. Had a xray and blood test will find out soon I hope.

    I am having a very difficult time with my weight and my other health issues. I know that my other health issues would improve some what if I could remove the weight and I keep trying. I lose 5 pounds to 10 pounds and then I do something like go out to lunch with my friends, or buy some unwanted snack items. I just can not stop myself...I need a positive support person. Everyone around me is so negative... I always keep trying though.
