I am 59. I have fibromyalgia,IBS,osteoporosis,migraines & high cholesterol. I weigh 85lbs, & am 4'9
My normal weight is 75. While on medication; I gained 40lbs. I am on different meds. I haven't been able to lose the rest. Aside from that; I have no idea what exactly I can eat with all of these conditions. Since 1 of my meds is tramadol, & it isn't strong enough for the pain; they will probably put me back on morphine. How can I prevent gaining all of the weight back?
Hi Pain Lady,
If you are using this as a screen name, it must be how you identify yourself and you must be in a lot of pain, I truly hope you can find relief soon.
But to answer your question. 75 pounds is way to low for someone your height, your BMI would be around 16 which would make you underweight and very very frail. Even at 85lbs you are borderline underweight. I think you might have the wrong idea about what "normal weight" is. I suspect you regularly talk to your doctors about the pain but have not talked about the weight. My advice is please talk to your physician about your specific weight issue, they know you and your condition better. Also learn more about BMI http://www.healthcentral.com/diet-exercise/index-1688-143.html which is the relation to height vs weight.
Wishing you a pain free future
