I have gained weight the past few months and my stomach looks like I'm 6months pregnant does anyone else have this problem if so what is it and what can I do??
I found it best to eat little and often. I always drink lots of water and avoid fizzy drinks.
Have you had any steroid injections or epidural injections? I did for my back before my diagnosis of a 37 year Birth Defect Congenital Spondylolisyhesis of the Lumbrosacral Region. The last injection about killed me. I'm allergic to steroids. Idk if this helps. I did the same thing. I was gaining 1-2 lbs a day, for 2 weeks. Went to ER, as direct by my Dr. Couldn't find anything. A few days later I got very sick. In 9 days I lost 19lbs. I begged to get fluids bc all I did was vomit,diarrhea and couldn't eat or drink. Finally, my Dr. Realized I am allergic to steroids .
Also if you are taking prednisone this will put weight on you and once I switched to Placqunil I dropped weight.
Same here; I switched up my diet more fresh fruits and veggies and have substituted SlimFast for one or 2 meals and actually lost 35 lbs doing that. I think we just become more sedentary dealing with this disease and can't seem to balance our weight as well. At least that's my dr's story lol.
I had this problem but apparently I had a 8cm cyst hiding on top of my colon so you may want to ask your Dr to get an ultrasound vaginal however they told me I was lucky because it only shows up in 35% of the testing so please go to your obgyns or family dr thank God mine wasn't cancer xoxo
