SO...post ur name and if u want to participate in a diet modification/exercise program for those with limitations.

    and hopefully we can support each other as we shed weight....and feel stronger with out pain : )

Not yet. I'll have to remember to ask the Cardio Dr on Monday.

They did check my thyroid levels but everything came back normal there too. My primary Dr is thinking of putting me on Beta Blockers but wants a full cardiac work up done first.

The probiotics definitely helped put my intestinal tract back in order! The magnesium was for headaches LOL. But multi purposeful! I started the probiotics much after the magnesium so I know it was the probiotics that helped. Gastric emptying study next Tuesday. Hopefully we can find a treatment after! :)
