Yes I was on it for quite a few years, yes I lost weight it actually takes away your hunger, never felt hungry at all, well it did me, but I took my self off because I had other problems with it, dried my skin to the extent I had bad cracks deep cracks in my heels, hands as well, my whole body was so dry, I couldn’t wear dark colours dark shoes as it looked disgusting looked like very bad dandruff but that was my whole body, didn’t matter how much moisturising cream you used, soon as my body absorbed the cream it started to dry again, also had a very dry mouth eyes dried up so I took myself off

Waiting to see my rhumotoid consultant as I’m on no medication at the moment & my skin is returning to how it should be no dry skin, also I’ve had no flares either.

Hope this helps, I’m not saying you will have the same skin problem as I did everyone is different
