hello all

a long time I havent posted here

because my body seems to get invaded by fat lumps, all in a matter of days, in fact I seem to feel a new one each day. Arms especially, and thighs.

I am a 34 woman (very thin, always been) and a GP i went to told me I was unlucky (!) because this usually happens to old people. thanks mate. made me feel quite superstitious about all sorts of things.

I am going through a period of stress at the moment and cant help relating the fat lump spread with the stress. but i also question a recent period of regular wine drinking (santé!), which has stopped and only lasted 3 weeks anyway. Maybe-culprits in my detective mind include sweet food, sweet drinks...am not sure anymore.

Blood circulation feels not so good these days round the arms, and I cant bear tight clothes.

I have started exercising again in the naive hope of stopping or slowing this mad thing happening.

Anyone got an idea as to the cause? I have searched the net and it seems nowhere in the world there seems to be an answer.

I wonder if Oriental medicine has a theory about it...o yes, I did read that these lumps are "tears under ther carpet", ie : unexpressed sadness. Gosh, this is unfair: i HAVE cried enough in my life, I am quite a good cryer in fact, very sensitive.

now I go to sleep and wake up with the dread that my body is going through some ugly trnasformation, that this is just the beginning, and that maybe just in 3 months I 'll look like a nice toad : all lumpy.

Am going to a dermatologist next week to have one or two removed, but I already have felt a lot more which need be removed...

Any idea? Anyone?
