Hi, are you flaring/got active RA? As yes, active RA can lead to weight loss as your metabolism goes haywire.

Yes, I am at moment...I wonder it that is why I'm soaking wet and feel like I have a temp. (I haven't) odd thing though my feet are like ice and I have hot water bottle on them most of the time. Weight loss I can deal with...it's the rest isn't it? Thank you for your reply.take care. I've just been put on slow release morphine tablets, to see if they work better than the ones I was on before...they worked as you took them...also got my zoplicon pills today for the weeks so I am a happy bunny! Going to put feet up and read the paper. Speak to you soon and once again thank you for your reply it reanalysed boost the soul when someone replies. Yo day here inEssex it is constant down pur so a bloody miserable day.maryx

Poor you, RA can be really rough. All gloomy (and a bit damp) here in Norfolk. Hope you are resting. Best wishes.

are your symptoms mentioned as side-effects of the morphine? it sounds awful.

hope tomorrow is better day for you.

Hi Mary, if you're RA is really active then you can lose weight - this was the case when I was first diagnosed. Also if you're flaring you don't feel like eating much:-( Do mention it to your doctor though.

Weather here in the north-east has been mainly rain today and strangely mild - perfect day for the sofa and some old movies:-}

Thank you your reply is was very knifed of you whilst I was o. MTX and I flex I would often hacpve these horrendous sweayng, it comes beyond that, even my clothes were drenced. I'm hoping it is the meds as I feel bloody awful without them. Perhaps my eating is calm after no MTX. However, it may have stopped the blister and the vomiting as when taken that's all gone...Idid wonder I'd it could be the immunie system that, when tteaken off it ,,,the I'm,une systems goes bonkers. Who know butmoment seem to be losing 1/2lbs daily. Thank you for your email. Yacckem take care maryx
