Hiya nic, sorry to hear you're having gum problems😟 unfortunately it's a very common side effect. I found salt water water rinses helped me and a soft baby toothbrush. Others have used corsodyl mouth wash and that's very good too.

The weight increase is also very common but as you say, one thing at a time and you really are doing ever so wellπŸ’ keep up the good work😊x
