Members connected over the frustrating cycle of weight fluctuating with fibromyalgia, with many attributing gains to medications like Lyrica, reduced activity due to pain and fatigue, and symptoms like carbohydrate cravings or stress eating. Several members shared strategies that worked for them, including switching off certain medications, taking probiotics like Biox4, following low-carb diets, drinking plenty of water, and walking regularly when possible, with one member celebrating a 42-pound loss. A recurring theme was the emotional toll of carrying extra weight while already managing chronic pain, paired with determination to find what works and support each other through the struggle.

I think the weight is from lack of sleep and so much pain. This leads to depression and anxiety and then we eat to feel better. I am back at weight watchers and trying to get myself together. I am so tired of the pain.

@A MyFibroTeam Member I have had trouble with weight all my life but for today I eat right but don't get me wrong I can gain so fast specialty when I'm doing so much better and tend to relax n then I get on track since my weight is controlled that part of my issues have been so much better but yes we can gain weight fast specially when we r not as active staying fit suits my issue and I don't feel as sluggish but it can be the meds. It's hard. Hugs prayers n to believe that we are all the best of all the people we are unique we are strong enough n we will never give up β€οΈπŸŒˆπŸ€—πŸ˜‚πŸ‘β€ΌοΈ
