I have gained so much weight since I have moved to Sweden. My last trip to America in 2009 was when it all seemed to start. I was so sick and swollen when I arrived in USA after visiting Sweden. It was around the swine flu time and I was swabbed and tested negative at the hospital, I had taken a course of antibiotics which did not seem to help, and went to my family doctor which prescribed more antibiotics and another swab for H1N1 and it was also negative... The second round of antibiotics was a double dose of two different kinds of antibiotics because they did not know why I was sick... I had gained the most weight at that time... I was up to 265-270 and was so miserable that I had gained so much weight in such a short period of time.
I moved to Sweden in Dec 2009 and had been having all sorts of phantom pains and ailments which took me to the emergency room more often than I had liked, it kept me almost completely bedridden. I was able to use the bathroom facilities and shower/bathe...other than that I could not walk far, I could not do hardly anything...
After ingesting and processing so much medical crap on the internet I finally asked my Doctor to take a thyroid test which I found out I have hypothyroidism. I am also a type II diabetic. Among a list of other wonderful things.
My ailments are as follows:
Depression
Anxiety
EDS
Fibromyalgia
Polymyalgia
Diabetes II
Insomnia
I am extremely overweight and am completely out of shape. I am able to do a lot more than I have in the past 2 years... which is friggin fabulous to me. But of course, I want more.
