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.

Hello everyone, how are you today? Have you every experienced weight gain from your psoriasis treatments? What did you do about it? Do you have any advice to share on this?

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.
