I have put on 1 1/2 stones in the last year. Due to meds I was told by PD nurse. Oddly enough, some people lose weight - just my luck to go the other way. Now buy trousers with elasticated waist!

Thanks drew410 .

Drew do you think you eat any more. or move any less .I can't get my head around it . I think your elasticated wait is a very good idea .

Can you go to another doctor? That's what I did and am glad I did.

[Jash]

I've had the opposite situation--lost a lot of weight unintentionally

[tlongmire]

Are you taking Azilect? Weight loss is a side affect.

[Susie01 in reply to tlongmire]

I take Azilect but have not had that side effect, just keep gaining!

[Jash]

Used to take Azilect,but just couldn't deal with it. My neuro says its additional calories burned by the tremor. Seems like weight goes to the extremes--loss or gain...thanks for the thought and information

[Susie01]

Ahhhhhh, I have increased my excercise and have gained 20 lbs. since being diagnosed and starting on medication. I think I may also have some thyroid deficiencies. My doctor is sending me to an endocrinologist.

[GrammyC]

I have put on 15 extra pounds even though I am exercising more and eating less. Very frustrating. I plan on going today to buy some new capris for summer in a larger size. I hate being chubby, but at least there is more of me to love!

[PatrickW]

I was 150-155 for the last 20 years now I'm around 170 which is where the "charts' say I should be but I can feel those extra 20 pounds .

I also have out on weight especially over the past 12 months. Tried everything but as I have just found out that I have Type 2 diabetes I have to watch what I eat. Have also been told I need to retake a thyroid blood test as I was borderline. Isn't life fun? An going to ask for a diet sheet as I hate being overweight.

[Helshubby]

I've lost weight - from 12st 10lb to 11st over about the last 18 months. I exercise regularly and eat well (love chocolate) but can't seem to put on what i've lost !!! Apparently i'm at my "ideal" weight but i feel "skinny"

[Jeanna]

I am also putting on weight. I am wondering is the Ropinerole makes me have an urge to eat. I know that if I don't eat something with it it makes my stomach hurt. The sinemet also bothers my stomach unless I take at least a couple of crackers with it. I don't sleep well, and often get up and eat in the middle of the night.

Jeanna your right it is the drugs . In your case you know your eating more.

Were as I don't think I am eating any more . On what I do eat .I could not do a days work. Please could you tel me have you put on weight on your face ???

I have LOST weight (180 down to 124) now GAINED weight (to 131). I have spent $$$$$$$$ getting suits taken in and then let out.

Thinking of going back to Mayo because of this and terrible pains in my chest every day! Best wishes to you. ~~Dennis
