I have been diagnosed with pickwicksyndrome and sleep apnea. I am morbidly obese and find it very difficult and absolutely not enjoyable to exersize which I know has greatly influenced my ability to loose weight. When I exercise I cannot breathe so I tend not to exersize. There is just something about breathing that I find appealing. I was super thin as a child and I suspect that I had asthma then but it went undiagnosed. I could never run as a child without running out of breath. If I was to use one word to describe my adolsence and early adulthood I would say fatigue. I have steadily gained weight over my life with brief periods of weight loss followed by bigger gains. I have degenerative disc disease with a spinal fusion at 49 years of age. I have hypertension and I use CPAP when I am trying to sleep. I also have a leg that spastically jumps just as I am approaching Rem sleep . I have difficulty falling asleep and difficulty staying asleep. I am raising 3 grand sons who have ADHA, Fetal alcohol and acquired brain injury. They are 6,8 and 9. I feel as though I am spiralling into severe health Issues. I need and wish to be well. Please Help.
