08 May 2009

Im happy with the weight loss Ive recieved from Adipex-p. Im undergoing doctors care now for my pain. Im not sure my pain is from the medicine or not. I just had an MRI of my neck on Tues. I may have a ruptured disk. I do work in a factory. I went to a Neurolorgist though last month and he was basically insinuating that he thought it was the Adipex without coming right out and saying so. Ive been looking alot on the computer trying to find something..havent found much, although that it is a nerve stimulant?? But it absolutly does work for weight lose. I have lost 50 ilbs. I have not been at this weight since high school and im 33 yrs old. I just hope my doctor can make this terrible pain go away. I go back to the doc Monday..wish me luck :)
