Is Anyone Trying To Loose Weight?
Has anyone found a way to loose weight or exercise during this period of MM? I gained 25 lbs from massive doses of gabapentin and it is right in the stomach area. I am really struggling with some basic exercises and I become too short of breath to continue. Any tips or thoughts? Thank you
I have also struggled with the weight gain that accompanies some of the M.M. treatments. About a year ago, I eliminated sugar in all forms from my diet, and the pounds melted away. Since I have always had a fierce sweet tooth, I was surprised at how easy it was for me to stop the sugar. I wish similar good luck to any of you who are struggling with this problem; weight gain is almost insult added to injury, isn't it! ox
I didn't realize gabapentin caused weight issues. I am also on it for my neuropathy and hoping to reduce the dose in the future if I can. Walking is all I'm doing now. I don't see that it's helping me physically yet but hoping it will the more I walk. Definitely interested in other answers to your question Marcia! It's a good one!
I went to PT and it really helped me in so many ways. I went particularly for balance, but I was stronger and looked much better after PT. I am ashamed that I haven’t kept my exercises up, but plan to start chair aerobics soon.
Thank you Donna. I think my appointment is Monday. (I’ll double check that since this week we had an appointment mixed up).
Anyway, next week i’ll find out if things stay the same or if it’s time for some miraculous medicine.
Enjoy the day, Marcia🌷
Thanks Marcia. I had a great Easter. I hope your blood work is good 💕🥰
