thanks for that link b2j, it looks really interesting.
My problem is exactly the opposite, i eat too little and really have problems eating more, i'll have a better look at it later when i've time.

As for steroid injections ive had them all over, wrists, knees, shoulders, ankles. Brilliant and they work instantly for me, yes i know im lucky.
As for weight gain, i'm 5 foot 2 and 7 stone 2lb. :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Oh no, please dont, I hate being this little, I keep trying to put it on but the trouble I have is that I cant seem to eat enough, I eat healthy, my five a day but when it comes to meals, the more thats on my plate the less I want. My throat seems to close up and if I try to get another mouthfull in I literaly gag,

The trouble is if I ever get majorly upset, i cant eat at all, and lose weight, I have trouble getting it back on again. I put on a couple of pounds in one week, then lose it the next. I'm sure the problem is schylogical (spe) but my GP doesnt seem to be able to help.

One day..............

Yeah, sorry about that. I do realise it must be just as frustrating from the other end of the sprectrum too.

Regarding GP's, I know how you feel. I've just had a Rheumatology appointment and I did what they asked - wrote symptoms down etc. Couldn't get past the first couple of points and I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia! It's so frustrating. Surely it's not too much to ask to be able to recite ALL your symptoms. What I was able to say really could've indicated loads of other conditions. He just didn't listen. And what happened to medical examinations! Have they stopped doing them? I feel like screaming
