rapid weight gain

[MichelleS]

Okay this is really odd I have put on about 8-10 in about a week and half food has not been so over the top to make those kind of gains. about 1900 to 2400 (i'm sitting at 162) and I was bulking but after getting this anti inflammatory(non steroid kind) for my wrist I put on mad fat right in my stomach. And food I eat hurts like hell and by the end of the day I'm so bloated that my pants will not zip. :yell: Any ideas of what could be the problem. And this is on clean food rice and chicken. :sos:

are you 'going' regularly? Also, how much water are you drinking daily?

[MichelleS]

yeah I am.

water is about 3-4L

even my face is getting fat.

I'm really thinking I may need to go and check out some PG tests. :( just to rule that out.

Did you say you are on steroids? That will do it.

[MichelleS]

no they are non-steroid drugs. I woulds have just rathered them give me the steroid kind they work better. :rolleyes: :pills:

I haven't taken them for two days now.

I hate the fact that my doc has not come back form deployment yet. I'm stuck with crappy docs that are just temps since 3 are out on maternity leave.

This is what caused the massive weight gain of dr Atkins after he stumbled over an icy patch and got into coma. He weighed 20-30lbs more at his death than a few days before he got into coma.
NSAIDS suck monkey balls...

But relax: it's nearly all just water weight gain.
