rebif weight gain

Hey Violia! I Hate shots! I wish I could blame rebif for my weight gain but I think its cause I got too sedimentary this year... I don't switch my Rebif around though... tummy hurts so much less so I just do it there. I asked the Doc about it and well he is a doctor and so he says Oh you have to move the injection site.... I asked the Rebif ppl and they say Oh No You Have to move the Injection Site!... I had spots on my arms that wouldn't go away... well I had em on my belly too...

She is at that weight conscientious age, so if her weight gain is causing her any distress and frustration, i definitely think you should bring this to the attention of her neurologist to see what can be done to help the situation. Cheers........

I was put into the secondary progressive group and am not sure what they will put me on. I heard copaxane makes you gain weight and leaves hard bumps on your legs. Vain, yes I know. So if anyone would be so kind as to share their experiences, I would greatly appreciate it.

Hi, Shell! It's so nice to see you, too! Yes, had to ditch the Copaxone. I've been on the Rebif since February 20th. I'm glad to know that Rebif is serving you well. I have a lot of permanent damage, that may have been prevented, if my former Neuro had not retracted his diagnosis. I don't mind the Rebif injections, at all. No site reactions. (Although, I am hoping to gain some weight, because I don't have enough fat.

Is there anyone using Rebif for MS? if so how are you getting on with this treament?

He basicly told me that I should just see my neuro again and that the rebif was probably causing all of my new symptoms! I have been on rebif for 7 months! Why would it suddenly cause malar rash, joint pain and swelling, extreme hair loss, anemia and chronic diarrhea, just to name a few. Has anyone heard of rebif causing lupus symptoms? I am still waiting for blood results from that appt. They took 8 large tubes of blood, so hopefully I will get those results soon.

Hi there, So very glad you saw this, and still check in when you can. Your note is lovely. And, don't thank me, it's that blessing that was put on this forum. I sure don't know who asked for it originally, but I do know where it comes from. I, like many of us, seem to never forget those who have touched the forum in one way or another like you have. Despite our many limitations, we have enough memory and strength to reach out to ones we think about and remember.

Look up weight gain according to BMI and it will give you a good idea on the amount of weight you should gain according to your body type.

Well I'm 7 months that means I'm 27 weeks and I have only gain 1 pound my midwife said it was OK 4 me to not gain weight bcz I'm over weight so u girls tell me it seems like I won't have to do a lot of weight loss. How far are u nd how much you gain?

My pcp said 2 of the meds I quit taking can cause weight gain. She's thinking that the weight I'm losing is just the weight that the meds prohibited from losing. Those were amitriptyline and trazadone. Last November I had my wedding rings resized because they no longer fit. They were too small. Now, they're way too big! lol...I wish this was the only problem I had to complain about, but at least it's not horrific!

You won't gain weight until later...

Of course you'll gain weight.

my double vision coming on six months now; being off work; feeling isolated; exhausted; annoyed at my 20 lb weight gain since my dx; not being able to make vacation plans, etc. etc. As it was happening I was thinking, I hope this is not a sign that I'm not going to be able to tolerate Rebif, which I only started 2 weeks ago (6 shots so far). It occured to me that I may have been PMS'ing, although it doesn't usually get me down like that.

Aww don't worry. In my experience, weight gain tends to stall at the end.

You gain the most weight in the last 8 weeks. So you might barely gain now, and then pack it on fast toward the end which is normal.

I know this is probably a stupid question, but I'm 36weeks pregnant and since my last doctors appointment I haven't gained any weight. I didn't gain weight in the 1st trimester due 2 sickness, but in the 3rd I've been pretty steady with my weight gain...at the very least a poun a week. And now it's been almost 2 weeks and still no weight gain. Could that mean anything? Or is it just normal? Thanks in advance!

So my dr says my weight gain is fine. He said 1 pound per week along I am.. So I am 32 weeks and I have gained 31 lbs... Does that sound like a lot?!? What has everyone else gained? Or is that a horrible question to ask everyone?

I haven't gain that much weight but I'm pretty sure I was at least 7 to 10 pounds over weight before I got pregnant.... I'm 5'3 so i think i should weight a little less..... maybe 125lb Before I had my beautiful baby girl (now 25 months) I was working out a lot and I was feeling good ...lol I went down to 128lbs and that when my hubby decided that it was time for another baby ..... I don't even know how or when did It happen.... :(.

I believe that prevacid can cause weight gain ..seems so many babies are now diagnosed with reflux we used to call it cholic and wait for it to pass now seems they put them on meds.Still your doctor would know the answer, I think its the meds and whilst you child ius on them he may gain weight.good luck once he is off the meds he may go down to a normal weight.

Thanks so much for even reading my long post lol :) I get a little wordy. I needed those words of reassurance thank you :) I was all worried because medhelps tracker showed that I was at a way high weight gain. So do you think I won't gain any more weight for a while then since your 16weeks and have also gained 10lbs?

I was around 137 pre pregnancy and am now 151. Is this a normal amount of weight gain and how much more weight is normal??? I feel like I've gained so much since some women don't gain any.

Your perfectly fine. With your weight gain.
