As for weight, I lost about 20 pounds after dx, then gained it back along with about 5 more since then. The problem is, I look like I have gained at least 30 extra instead of 5. Very bloated, my belly has seemed to take on a life of its own! Hand and feet have swollen. Had to have all my rings sized up two sizes and now I can't get my wedding rings off my finger. I'm eating better, but I know I need to exercise more. Not walking like I was, and I should be doing more.

As for aches and pains, I've had lots. Neurontin has helped tremendously, but I think adds to the weight problem along with the Lupron and Arimidex. I am stiff in the morning, especially hands and hips, and also after sitting for a while. Everything gets much better after I move--feel great after I get going. So.....obviously I need to get going MORE!

I'm trying......
