So I started remicade in February. I've had four doses. I am on my way to my next infusion as they have increased my dose and frequency due to my body creating antibodies.
However, since starting remicade I've gained about 15 lbs.
The first two doses I can blame on steroids but I've been off of them since early March. After my last appt I started eating WAY less than normal and exercising twice as much. I've been doing the insanity DVDs (2 workouts a day). And I've still gained another five lbs. I want to cry. Why am I still gaining weight?
Typical day's meal - turkey sandwich for lunch and a salad or wrap for dinner. I'm not even having snacks!!!!! How can I be gaining weight?????
