That's quite alright kimmie :-)  I'm happy to hear that all those test came back normal.  That has to be a weight lifted off of your mind.  Some do go into remission for a long period of time like that.  I've heard of cases where one might have a bout with fibro and then no others afterwords.  Though I think this is rare.

Please do let us know how things go with you.  We do care and will be here to help you through.  

Wishing you a wonderful New Year too :-)

The reason others gain weight are because of not being able to get proper exercise and some of the medications also cause the gain.  Since you are not eating because of the pain, then it would be natural for you to lose weight.  However, any 'rapid' weight loss should be investigated by a physician to try and find out what is causing it and to make sure there is nothing else taking place.
