Oh sweetie, I agree, you don't deserve this. Doctors can be so maddening sometimes. I've been running in the same circles for over a year now-you are just depressed, you need to lose weight, you need to exercise, blah, blah, blah. But, like you, I'm so damned tired and hurt so much I can barely get dressed. Like you, they drug me to no end, give me high doses of steroids which cause major weight gain and round and round we go.
Its all I can do to make it to the office each day, forget about actually working-nothing is getting done. I'm so exhausted when I get home, I sit in my chair until I go to bed at 9pm. Some nights, I have no idea how I make the 30 minute drive home with my hands so swollen and being so tired I can't see straight.
You have a medical condition, do not feel guilty, do not let the docs make you feel bad You are not that fat!!!!!! The average girl is a size 10, I'm running a 12-14 right now, so I understand being heavy makes us feel bad about ourselves but even if we lose 30 pounds, its not going to solve all our problems.
Some exercise may help but I understand how hard it is when you can barely get out of bed. If you have insurance, maybe ask for a prescription for physical therapy. That would get you out of the house and at least they could show you some stretches and mild exercises to get things started. Try to find someplace with a pool as pool therapy is just awesome. Don't even worry about wearing a bathing suit in public, its a bunch of old people anyway!
