At my wit’s end......🙄

Oh I’m soooo fed up. I’ve always been a large lady but in the past 12 months I seem to be putting on weight daily!! For no good reason! I have T2 diabetes so I’m really careful what I eat but this morning I’ve put on 2.5 lbs!! It’s driving me mad and really depressing me. My exercise is minimal as I use a wheelchair so even more reason to watch what I eat. I ave lymphoedema in my legs but my nurse says that shouldn’t have an effect on weight gain.

Could it be my medication? I’ve recently been prescribed Mebeverine for IBS-D and I take Lyrica......

I’m sooo sorry this is a long read but I’m at the end of my tether. Thank you. 🙂

That has to be pretty frustrating. It could indeed be something external given the speed. Drugs.com can tell you if that is a side affect. Even if it isn’t recorded it is something to discuss with your doctor. It is certainly valid to call that unacceptable as it is harmful to gain so much. I would suggest other ideas but I think that is step one.

Have a chat with your local pharmacist. They know more about Medicines than doctors.
