Same here, thanks for the reply. Trying to work out lightly, don't want to lose anymore muscle. Eat well, but not gaining yet. This disease sucks. All my best Brother.

I lost a lot of weight before I found out exactly what was going on. I went from 264 to 236 in 6 months. I think that when I was put on Leflunomide I was so sick that I couldn't eat but now that I am on Humira I seem to have my appetite back and have gain 5 pounds. which I dont want to gain but at least I feel better now. I am still not eating sugar and that helps. I have a hard time exercising due to pain so I have to just watch what I eat. I have lost a lot of muscle which was not what I wanted to lose.

Yes. Same here. But it was all muscle that I lost. That’s how I knew that this was more than just getting older. Supposedly, the immune system was so ramped up it was taking all the calories away from my body and when all the calories were depleted, then my body started breaking muscle to feed the ravenous immune system.
