MDJunction to me

grandmasylvia"MDJ has been "a soft place to fall" for me as Dr Phil says. I have this very painful rare disease Dercum's Disease and take comfort in finding others here who share their knowledge and compassion. Many
members have helped me just by understanding my anguish and validating
my pain. We are working together to encourage research toward a cure.

I am a 48 year old woman living in the Chicago area. I have had NES for 28 years. It started after my mom's suicide when I was 20. Over the last 15 years I have tried to stop this condition in order to lose weight. Not only have I been unable to stop, I am now close to 200 pounds and I am 5'3". About a month ago I began seeing a cognitive behavior Ph.D in the area who specializes in treating NES. At the same time, I did have a sleep study done which basically showed I have some sleep sleep apnea but as of now do not need CPAP. I have read the book on NES by Alfred Stunkard and found it excellent. This is my first time in an online support group. The worst part of NES has been the shame, guilt and self hatred about not being able to stop this "thing." I am interested in any other books and or websites (resources on NES) and also learning from YOU all what is working to stop your NES and for those who are "in remission" (the best my doc said I can hope for) how long and what keeps you "there" ...in remission. Also, any tips you all have on how best I can use this support group.

There are some pretty good tips here .. there seems to be no magic cure pill though.
