I am in the same situation. Every month when I went to get my infusion I would gain another 5 pounds. I complained to my doctor and asked why. He said " I'm sorry it's because of my sedentary life style and the medication. Sooooo I go from having RA to all these issues caused by treatment. Exasterbating all of the issues RA causes. How can I fix it ! Eating an entirely plant based diet and exercise. Can I do either one of those? No I can't.

I know how you feel. My own sister told me that I gained. too much weight. However, RA is invisible and no one knows the pain and the burning pain that we go through. The meds do not take it away it just is not that intense.
