After I was diagnosed I gained about 35 pounds. To a young college student, gaining weight is the worst! I know I gained the weight from steroids and from not wanting to get off the couch because I was in so much pain. Before RA I was active and worked out on a regular basis and it was put to a stop from the pain. I have adjusted to the meds and have begun to get back to the gym. Did anyone else gain weight post diagnosis?
