    If your in uk your doctor can refer you to a healthy diet group, I went on one it lasted 3 months and I lost 6 stone and physio was also part of it so that helped with the toning up. Good luck

    Also if you are in the UK ask your Dr about exercise on prescription they do it in my area you will get a personal trainer that will do a plan for you hope this helps x

      It's such a shame that the medical professionals that are there to help us don't, are you still under the rheumatology department or have they discharged you? X

      I went to pain clinic and completed the 3 month course, I now believe that it's a place they send you when the doctors don't know how or where to go next with you. Make an appointment with your own gp and ask is this the final resort, I feel like doctors are only honest when you be more direct with them. Xx good luck
