Default Hi, I am new

Hi everyone
I am very new to talking on line. If if sound silly at first please try to understand. I have a illness call "Sarcoid". It is a break down of the immune system. I have been on Prednistone off and on for several months now. I am now getting better and I am slowing getting off of this med. I was also on Hormone pills. I am now off of them. I am still on Prozak daily. I will not get off of it. I like myself now and am much more happy. With all the pills I have been taking I am now 50 lbs. over weight. I started dieting two weeks again and now have lost 5 lbs.
45 lbs to go. I guess it could be worse .

Hi!

Welcome to the forum!

You've made great progress so far, especially considering all the meds. I know how hard that can be.

Good luck!
