weight gain (slow) with MTX?

[Guest guest]

Has anyone noticed weight gain on MTX?...especially a slow weight gain?

I was the same weight for 12 years, and that included having two kids

(was back to pre-pg weight w/in 2 weeks) and now, I've slowly gained 20

pounds!!! I was overweight to begin with - I don't need this!

The crazy thing is we've been eating better, and less, since DH's

triglycerides came back at 675. I'm not eating more, or anything

different, and I'm napping just the same. I was dx'd with fibro two

months ago and started on Flexaril, which helps the fatique, but I

still have to rest during the day.

Anyway, I don't see the rheumy until the end of Sept. When I mentioned

putting on the first 5 lbs, she told me not to look at the scale, but

how I felt. Okay, so I feel better physically, but I also feel worse

physically and mentally from the extra weight. GRRR!
