Does or did anyone else suffer from these disorders and did the RNY do anything I ease some of the effects? I am 3weeks post-op and have lost almost 40lbs so far, obviously the weight itself wasn't helping anything but I am confident it ha already started to ease some of the major pain (back, hips ect...) Anyone else find this?

Hey, yes I've been diagnosed with both. The medication I was taking got stuck every single time! I'm almost 3 months out and so far I have not had any improvements. My back pain and migraies are really bad, but that could just be a part of the process.

I have both and lost 105 pounds. It hasn't helped so far. Very fatigued and joint pain.

I have RA and the weight loss has helped. I am having a flare right now, but confident it is the crazy weather and issues with insurance and medication.

This is in par with what I have heard from the doctors, does anyone use thc (marijuana) for their fibro? I hear such conflicting opinions about the validity of it's usage...
