While Rinvoq's clinical trials didn't show significant weight gain for RA patients, increased weight is listed as a possible side effect. If the medication is effectively managing your RA symptoms, this benefit may outweigh the weight-related side effects. Regarding intermittent fasting, while some myRAteam members have reported positive experiences with this approach, it's important to discuss any dietary changes with your rheumatology provider. They may recommend working with a registered dietitian who can help create a balanced plan that accounts for your medication's effects on metabolism. If you're concerned about the weight gain, talk to your healthcare provider. They can evaluate whether adjusting your medication dosage might help or suggest other strategies for weight management while maintaining control of your RA symptoms.
