I suffer from severe RA which was discovered late 2012. Despite a host of meds, including Humira-I suffer greatly from malaise. It is hard to describe to people as it is different than depression. I have described it as my insides have gangrened out I look around my filthy house in disgust-but still have no interest or stamina or fortitude to make it beautiful again. Disgusting. Last fall, I described this to a woman I had just met. She went out to her car and came back with a blue pill-she was on a diet-and had so far done quite well in losing weight. When I inquired what it was she said phentermine. I reconized this as on had been on fen-fen. back in the 80 s until it was pulled. Studied it on the internet-and 6 weeks later--took the pill. It was phenominal! was able to get so much done that day..I have never told my pcp but want, as it was a great day! What would you do? Thanks- Ruth
