What Happens when You Cannot Lose Weight and It Affects Your Health?
Over the last few years my health has declined. I am very much over weight. My knees hurt when I climb stairs. SOB happens when I walk from one end of my house to the other. My back is in pain. I am constantly sleepy. And when I try to lose the weight and think I am doing well I can never shake it. I have a thyroid issue and take synthroid for it but now I am losing hope of ever getting better and my Doctor does not seem to care. Can you help me?
