How is your physical health?
I unfortunately have been experiencing weight loss and high fatigue level. I’m also losing a lot of energy and mobility to do more things. I barely eat, which also concerns me.

That’s terrible. I’m sorry to hear that.
My physical health has been ok. I still have bladder problems because the drs have never seen a bladder in the condition mine is in. I’ve tried multiple drs. Now they’re telling me to go to a research hospital to see if they’ve ever seen it before and if so how to treat it. It sucks.
@anon10648258 Nowhere as bad as yours, but quite restrictive. Chronic lower backache that kicks in when only walking a short distance or when upright for more than a few minutes.Painful right hip as I walk. Worsening balance and coordination from what has been subpar anyway for over 60 years. Waiting for an appointment date to see a neurologist.
Bad back. Fatigue. The knees are giving me a little trouble. Dandruff, lol. The dandruff isn’t life threatening but it’s bothersome.
I ■■■■■■ my arms up skateboarding. And I’ve been smoking for 14 years lol
consuming more salt can help you eat more. Having salt makes you hold on to more water which keeps your metabolism healthy which burns more energy which makes you hungry and eat…
it sort of gets the ball rolling with your eat/metabolize system.
my phsyical health is okay although i am overweight a bit now but working on it
I have exhaustion / fatigue problems. I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia. I also have chronic widespread pain. I take CBD when it gets too unbearable. I feel achy and sore, quite often.
In addition to the fibro, I have cervical dystonia. It’s a movement disorder of the neck / head that can be caused by long-term antipsychotic use. It causes neck stiffness, neck pain, headaches, and of course abnormal movements.
I was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes at age 10. It’s an autoimmune disease, meaning my immune system randomly attacked my pancreas’ beta cells (which produce insulin). My immune system killed my beta cells, of my pancreas, so I am life-dependent on insulin shots / infusion for the rest of my life.
Poor diabetes control in my teen years caused me to have gastroparesis (delayed gastric emptying). I feel nauseous, often, and sometimes I just randomly start throwing up. Food sits in my stomach too long, longer than normal, because the vagus nerve (which controls digestion) is damaged from my high blood sugars (from diabetes). Not fun.
Occasionally, I have seizures. Still figuring that out…
Oh, and I have severe asthma & allergies. I am on the strongest maintenance inhaler drugs for asthma and I’m also getting allergy injections every week. I can hardly go for a walk without having an asthma attack. Hikes are a definite asthma attack (or 2 or 3).
I’m a healthy weight. I’ve been very thin for most of my life, and I have also always been an active person. I like bike riding and hiking. My health has been limiting me, though. It’s hard to do active, fun things when my body feels like it’s going to give out on me.
I’m overweight but working on losing weight. Eating lots of produce and exercising; drinking water and taking prescribed supplements, etc. Haven’t had a physical checkup in a while. Need to get that out of the way. Hopefully soon. I feel okay overall.
I wish you all the best with physical health stuff. I feel like mental health issues can definitely complicate our caring for our bodies. It’s good that we can encourage each other, though!
drinking water is so important good point! i feel like i have more energy when i do so i always keep a 2L jug of water in my room
I hear you there. I have had seizures myself and it sucks. I also have gastrointestinal problems that are still undiagnosed. I’m also thin (99 pounds ish).
my blood pressure is low which makes me feel lightheaded and fatigued and not as healthy as was.
i have put on weight and been unable to make myself exercise.
i do not connect with people on this forum really but no dramazzzzz.
i stay on this forum anyway because we have had similar experiences in a way and because we have schizophrenia.
im a outsider of the forum but some of my favourite members are outsiders of the forum not main crowd so to say even.
i spend pretty much all day in bed on my computer or watching tv.
i have become like Aziz was. ha ha in bed all the time.
i have always been a bed girl.
it is comfortable and feels safe.
i have a mass on my kidney that needs a eye kept on it with x rays etc.
i urinate too frequently and summer time when i drink more it gets way too bad.
I currently have good physical health apart from Cholesterol, high prolactin and sexual dysfunction
Ironically I think all caused by meds for my mental health
Nevermind
Smoking is going to catch up with me sooner or later, but that’s for another day and entirely self-inflicted
In some sort of decline. I just been told I have a Left axis deviation in my heart and I barely been eating I lost 11 pounds in a week so I been rotting away smoking. I ate very little today just not hungry.
