Does ra cause weight gain?

Please don't go by what people say online or try random home remedies to lose weight when you have RA. Everyone's body and medication plan is completely different. It is best to directly ask your rheumatologist about this because they know your dosage and how it affects your metabolism.

I don't have RA, but dealing with PCOS has taught me how frustrating inflammatory weight gain can be. It is really tough when your body doesn't coordinate, but please don't be too hard on yourself. Just focus on anti-inflammatory foods and check with your doc about safe ways to manage it.

Oh absolutely, those RA meds make you feel so hungry out of nowhere, especially craving heavy carbs! I struggled with midnight snacking because of this. Now I try to keep healthy munchies like roasted makhana and chana nearby so I don't end up ordering samosas.

Yes, it can happen, especially due to the steroid medications prescribed for flares. I faced this too during my treatment.

Yes, it can happen sometimes, mostly because of the meds like steroids or just because joint pain makes it hard to move around 😕 but don't lose hope at all! Small dietary changes and sitting exercises can do wonders. Stay positive and keep smiling, you can definitely manage this nicely! ✨
