re: Pondering Life With My Situation

You really have to be special to want attention this bad from trolling the same thing every few years. Can’t believe someone caught you already

Really don't know what kind of responses I'm looking for here but I figured I would get some feedback from you all since part of me really feels like just giving up at this point.

To give you some background on me, I just turned 36. Slightly overweight but not obese (5'7" - 180 lbs) but I know I don't eat that great. I'm trying to change that (trying to cut out most sugars, processed foods, more salads, vegestables, organic foods, etc.) and would like to drop 30 - 40 lbs. I am also trying to work out more and just joined Orange Theory a few months ago, trying to do 8 classes a month.

The medical issues that I suffer from are multiple. Here's the list:

Eosinophillic Asthma (I take Montelukast 10mg, Dymista, Breo Ellipt and Incruse Ellipta, going to try Nucala and I'm hoping if that works I can go off the inhaled corticosteroids).

GERD (Mostly diet related and it's pretty minor but I do take Nexium 20mg, gastro doctor wants me to try Pepcid 40mg but I'm hesitant to do it).

High Blood Pressure (I take Lisinopril 20mg. Completely hereditary, diagnosed at 23, my sister was diagnosed at 18, every member of my family has it).

Besides those I take a multivitamin, fiber supplement, loratadine 10mg and a nasal rinse every day.

For me it s*cks having so many medical issues at such a young age. I was hospitalized for 3 days last year due to pneumonia and now this year have missed a week of work because I got a viral/bacterial infection that caused me to get fungal laryngitis and has temporarily screwed up my voice.

It's frustrating, I feel like I have genuinely tried to work out more and eat better and it hasn't really helped. It's frustrating feeling like I'm a 36 year old trapped in a 66 year olds body. It's too bad there aren't lemon laws on the books for bodies because my body definitely feels like a lemon.

Again I don't really know what I'm expecting here, I guess any tips will be helpful. I just needed to get this off my chest. Not sure if there's much hope for me at this point. I don't want to give it but it's hard not to.
