I have not been able to gain any weight no matter how much I eat. Is there anyone with this inability to gain or even maintain your weight?

Last year I did this protein diet called Dukan Diet....although I have tried a lot at the past that was the only one which really worked and helped me alot....protein was very good for my muscles. ..I needed it....and the blood tests were very good. The best part is that you see resaults very soon. I lost all the weight from medicins and kortizon. .and many inches too

I have hypothyroidism and I gained a lot of weight. I was told that my thyroid disease caused the Lupus. I met a woman with hyperthyroidism and she was so thin she was bones. I would get tested for hyperthyroidism if I were you.

Yes I've had this issue and have lost over 34 pounds in the past 6 months. Went from 135 to 101, it really sucks!! Waiting to get into a specialist.
