Hi everyone, I've been on Humira for a while now, I started on it several months before my wedding late last year, but I noticed that I've gained some weight, especially in my stomach area. I pay particular attention to my diet since before my wedding so I know it can't be that so now I'm wondering if it's my medicine that's behind it. Has anyone else been through this?

@upanddown i actually lost a bit of weight on methotrexate at the beginning from the nausea and vomiting i went through. have you asked your doctor about it? maybe it's a side effect of humira specifically.

I have gained 3 stone in total over 2 1/2 years.  I stopped Tremfya because of sore joints and weight gain.  It's so difficult I have tried various diets slimming groups to no avail.  I'm hoping my new medication can ease the joint pain so at least I can up my exercise.
