Lupus And Weight Gain, Are They Connected? Posted: 08-26-05 13:02pm
I have had lupus since I was 16 the
doctors figure, but not actually diagnosed
until I was around 18.
What I was wondering, is lupus and weight
gain related? I have always been on the
more slender to average side, and since
going on all these drugs I have gained
over 50lbs in less than a year. I have
hypo-thyroidism, as well as a couple other
problems. But I try to do yoga, I watch
what I eat and the pounds are not going
away :x . I have never been this heavy
and it isnt good for my heart. I had to
have open heart surgery in 2002, and have
just been steadily increasing my weight
ever since. Except this year, I have
gained about 50 lbs, and I dont know how.
Please help me. I dont know what to do
about this. I still exercise on a regular
basis. I dont know what to do. I am the
only fat person in my family, and I hate
the stares I get.
