I totally agree with you. That is how I lost 25 pounds, about 30 years ago and I've never gained it back. I guess I will have to subscribe to this theory, since we went into Boston this afternoon and I had a beer...
I am going to see yet another rheumatologist, who is part of a women's health group, associated with Brigham and Woman's. At least it's not all the way in the city, but in the suburb I grew up in. She also has experience with sports medicine, so she will understand my lifestyle. I am totally fed up with my pcp. She didn't even read the report from the neurologist I saw in Boston. Thankfully, I relayed the info. to my rheumo. in Concord and we have implemented his plan (I started a 10 mg. dose of Elavil, an older anti depressant that has been used to generally calm the nervous system down in this small dose. As he said, my nervous system is going haywire). I think the acupuncture is helping the anxiety part, because I've been able to wean down the anti-anxiety meds and feel pretty good. However, I am having other weird symptoms and I'm not getting any answers, so as long as I have the time, I am going to go on a bit more.
Thanks again, everyone.
