Hiya Twinkly so glad you are doing so well on Rux . As you know I'm also on it but not doing so well . Also I can't follow the kind of regime your on and I suspect neither can others . I have to have a high fat diet to maintain weight never mind putting it on . The point I'm trying to make is everyone is different and although we are fighting our battles together what works for you may not be beneficial or right for others . Long may you do well but please give respect to those who are struggling so hard and can't be you .

Hi, I found your recent post really useful. I am considering asking to go onto the drug myself and it is good to see how different people are reacting. I am on HC at present and have, like you, made changes to my diet to combat weight gain. I am noticing both a slow weight loss and a reduction in my symptoms. But like you say it is not easy. So go for you and I wish you all the best.
