I hear that Julih0310 ... the weight stinks.. right along with the pain... but I've been seeing my numbers drop little by little.. it's not a whole person yet.. but I'll take it :) .. man we need some comedy relief on this topic ;)
I think of my liver all the time. I can hear Mom say "Never take medicine's until you eat something" otherwise it will hurt the liver. so that's my 5 cents always eat something before taking meds. Gentle hugs

Neenee 71>=Belive it or not a lot of the doctors out there are not telling there patients that most of the meds out there cause additional weight gain!😖even blood pressure meds it's bad enough to feel bad and then add weight on top of it all! Then they tell you to exercise but it's hard to do that too! I am very active and still work part time! But with hypothridoism and fibro and serious cervical issues and menopause your limited!! Even watching your food intake and illimating sugars white flour.. It's not easy???
I have put on 20 lbs in less than a year. I refuse to take any meds that have weight gain as a side effect . Extra weight cannot be healthy for any of us
Yes, I have gained weight too and hate it. I have IBS too. Drink water but not in excess 8-10 glasses a day. Sometimes overdoing it doesn't help either. I love my Pepsi so I started drinking Perrier with the fizz then went to water. It's a vicious cycle we live with.
